The biggest knock on the Dodgers (78-58) this year has been their ability to get the job done on the road. It looked as though it was going to be more of the same when they lost the first game in a 4-game series to the San Diego Padres, but they bounced back brilliantly, taking the next 3 in some considerable style. No-one is getting too carried away just yet, though, as there are still 6 games to come on this road trip, and the Dodgers are still sitting 6 games under .500 in opponent’s ball parks.
This series is going to be particularly trying, as the Angels are still very much in the thick of things in the Wild Card race. The Dodgers can afford to slip up a little, though, as their lead atop the division is now at a very healthy 7.5 games. Clayton Kershaw (12-6, 2.18 ERA) will continue his brilliant season with a start on Tuesday night.
Getting into the playoffs is about as tough as it gets, and the Angels (69-67) have one of the roughest roads to follow of all the teams in the hunt. This week will see them face the Dodgers and the Astros, a pair of teams who already look as though they are going to punch their tickets to the postseason. The Angel currently find themselves 2.5 games back of the final Wild card spot, and are coming off a huge series win over the Texas Rangers, who just happen to be the team they are trying to run down. August was a rough month for Mike Trout, but there are signs that the slugger is starting to come out of it, as he has been a whole lot better in the last few games. They are going to need him to be at his best in order to get in. Andrew Heaney (6-2, 3.18 ERA) will start for the Angels on Tuesday.
