The Dodgers won series against the Padres and Giants last week, their closest pursuers in the National League West, thanks to strong performances by Shohei Ohtani, Clayton Kershaw, and others. Plus, the pitching usage strategy sure felt a lot like last October’s run to the World Series.

The San Francisco Giants just created a massive headache for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants traded for Rafael Devers in a deal no one saw coming on Sunday to not only grab some much needed offense, but instill fear in a team that’s been running away with the NL West division.

Andy Pages hit a game-turning three-run home run in the fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani had three hits and scored two runs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night.

The San Francisco Giants sent their clubhouse a major message by pulling the trigger on a blockbuster trade for All-Star infielder Rafael Devers, shortstop Willy Adames said.

A pair of clubs in the NL West -- the Los Angeles Dodgers (41-28) and the San Francisco Giants (40-29) -- meet on Friday at 10:10 p.m. ET, at Dodger Stadium. The favored Dodgers (-196 on the moneyline) take the field at home against the Giants (+162). The Dodgers will start Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4) versus the Giants and Logan Webb (5-5).
