The Dodgers (51-26) close out a lengthy home stand with the first two games of this year’s Freeway Series. The Angels (41-39), at a game above .500, somehow haven’t entirely collapsed since they lost Mike Trout in late May. They’re tied for second in the AL West, although they’re a sizable 13 games back of the Houston Astros, the only team in baseball with a better record than the Dodgers.
