The NL West rivalry returns with full force as the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants in Game 1 of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium this Friday. With both teams neck-and-neck in the standings – Dodgers at 41-28 and Giants right behind at 40-28 – this opener could set the tone for a division-shifting weekend.

The New York Yankees return to Kauffman Stadium Wednesday night for Game 2 of their series with the host Kansas City Royals.
