Los Angeles at Los Angeles

The inconsistent Angels got a win yesterday in the Freeway series, but are still on an 11-19 slide. The offense is #17 in on-base percentage, and the team is on a 5-14 run on the road. Angels' starter Deck McGuire (6.10 ERA) has allowed 31 base runners in 20+ innings, including 11 walks. The Angels are 4-13 against lefty starters, as well as 5-16 on the road against southpaws. They are also 2-10 away against winning teams. They face a Dodgers squad ranked ninth in runs scored, ninth in on-base percentage, and sixth in slugging. The Dodgers have ace Clayton Kershaw on the hill, who is allowing fewer than three runs in each of his four starts since coming back from a stint on the disabled list. Kershaw is 6-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 10 career starts against the Angels. The Dodgers are a sizzling 20-6 against righty starters, plus 21-9 in interleague home games. Play the Los Angeles Dodgers.
