The final showdown of the season is here between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the series beginning on Friday at Dodger Stadium.

The Giants are near the end of a long road that has seen them fall to the bottom of the National League.

San Francisco (64-89) has the second worst record in the National League. They have the Colorado Rockies to think for not having the worst record in the NL. Meanwhile, the Dodgers (93-60) have already clinched the National League West division crown and will likely get a first-round bye to the postseason. They’re fighting to catch the Milwaukee Brewers for the No. 1 seed in the NL playoffs.

San Francisco's woes can be directed in one direction — injuries. As the Giants begin this series with the Dodgers, they have 16 players on the 60-day injury list, including players they expected to help them contend for a playoff berth like first baseman Rafael Devers and third baseman Matt Chapman. The Giants aren't just figuratively limping to the finish line. It's literal.

Here is a preview of the series, with the pitching probables and the injured list.
