After an off day on Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their homestand with the opener of a three-game series against the L.A. Angels. The teams previously faced off in May, with the Angels taking two of three from the Dodgers in the Freeway Series at Angel Stadium.
The Dodgers opened their current homestand by splitting two games with the Houston Astros. At 65-44, they enter play trailing the first-place San Francisco Giants by four games in the National League West standings.
The Angels, at 55-54, are 10 games behind the Astros in the AL West. Their best chance at sneaking into the postseason would appear to be as a Wild Card team as they trail the Oakland Athletics by a much more manageable six games.
