The Dodgers and Giants will face one another Thursday night in the second part of MLB's season-opening doubleheader on national TV.
The first game of the evening is between the defending champion Nationals and Yankees.
Los Angeles has won the NL West every year since 2013, and it expects to do so again this year. The Giants, meanwhile, are supposed to finish near the bottom of the division.
But despite the apparent gap in talent between the Dodgers and Giants, it's a classic rivalry worth tuning in to see, especially with Mookie Betts making his Los Angeles debut.
Here is a complete guide to watching Thursday's game between the Dodgers and Giants, including the start time and TV schedule for MLB Opening Night.
