Tampa Bay at Los Angeles

Tampa Bay is a terrible road team (19-33) and is 3,000 miles from home, ending a nine-game trip here. They look road weary, losing four in row and tallying a total of seven runs. Rays' lefty Matt Moore (6-7, 4.31 ERA) owns a 2-3 record and 5.37 ERA in 10 career interleague starts. Tampa Bay is on an 18-42 run, including 16-35 against a right-handed starter. The L.A. Dodgers are off a 3-2 win yesterday that keeps them 2.5 games behind first-place San Francisco in the NL West. Dodgers' righty Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 1.61 ERA) continues to impress, holding St. Louis to two runs (one earned) on one hit over 6+ innings Friday. He is 5-0 with a 3.77 ERA in eight starts since joining the Dodgers last season. The Dodgers are on a 22-6 run at home, as well as 12-5 in interleague home games. Los Angeles is also 4-0 all-time in Dodger Stadium against the Rays, who have lost seven of 11 since the All-Star break. Back the L.A. Dodgers.
