Story summary

The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers, two of baseball's oldest rivals in the NL West division, will face each other on Sept. 18 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The game is set to air exclusively on Apple TV, with a seven-day free trial available for viewers. As of now, the teams have only played against each other six times this season, and they will meet again next week in San Francisco for their final three-game series. This matchup comes after the Dodgers clinched the NL West title by winning three out of four games against the Reds, securing their 14th consecutive postseason appearance, tying a record held by the Atlanta Braves from 1991 to 2005. In contrast, the Giants' season has been less successful with a record of 64-89 under first-time MLB manager Tony Bennett.
