The Giants, fresh off a two-game sweep of the A’s earlier this week in summer camp baseball, will send Johnny Cueto to the mound to start against the Dodgers, the presumptive World Series favorite. Cueto will have to deal with an explosive Dodgers lineup led by slugger Cody Bellinger and newly acquired Mookie Betts, who signed a monstrous 12-year, $365 million deal Wednesday.
