The Los Angeles Dodgers go out in their regular season finale against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday with little opportunity for climactic drama. Knocked out of the playoff race a game prior, the Dodgers will finish the season with Clayton Kershaw (13-9) on the mound and a long offseason on the horizon.
The Giants (94-67) will counter with Ryan Vogelsong on the mound. He's simply looking to pad his 14-9 record and 3.46 ERA.
Both teams will go with pretty standard lineups. One notable change is Tim Federowicz starting at catcher for the Dodgers (85-76) in place of A.J. Ellis. Federowicz has only played in two games this season.
