"This shrunk the magic number to win the division down to three, and the Dodgers will look to lock up the division as soon as possible in order to start preparing for the postseason. Emmet Sheehan will be on the mound today for the Dodgers' final regular season home game of the 2025 season, looking to inch closer to the clinch."
"Sheehan was solid his last time out against the Phillies, allowing one run on just one hit and three walks over 5.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Anthony Banda opened the game likely in part due to shielding Sheehan from the dangerous lefties at the top of the Phillies' order, but also possibly in part to get him more reps coming out of the bullpen."
The Dodgers beat the Giants 7-5 for a third straight win, extending a four-game lead in the NL West. The magic number to clinch the division is three. Emmet Sheehan is scheduled to start the final regular-season home game as the Dodgers push to lock up the division. The Giants sit four games behind the final Wild Card and have gone 1-5 against the Dodgers recently; 24-year-old Trevor McDonald will make his first career start. Lineup moves rest Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman, place Michael Conforto in left, and start Dalton Rushing for Ben Rortvedt. The offense has scored five-plus runs in seven of eight games. Sheehan allowed one run with seven strikeouts in 5.2 innings his last outing, and Anthony Banda has yielded four runs over his last 24.1 innings.
