The San Francisco Giants are heading into a make-or-break series against the Dodgers — and it could define their playoff chances. With Verlander, Webb, and Ray lined up, this is the matchup we’ve been waiting for. The Mets are collapsing, the Reds are pushing, and the Giants have the chance to make a serious move.

We also dive into a player profile on Reggie Crawford, the Giants’ 2022 first-round pick who has faced setback after setback with injuries. Now, after labrum surgery, the organization is betting on him as a pitcher-only prospect. Can Crawford still live up to the hype?

Finally, we break down how the Giants should handle their bullpen moving forward. Without Tyler Rogers and without a clear closer, it hasn’t been smooth sailing — but with arms like Spencer Bivens, matchup relievers, and Joel Peguero as a potential closer option, there’s a blueprint for success.
