Los Angeles at Los Angeles

While it's not a long road trip for the Angels, it's still their fifth straight road contest. And they have not been playing well, losing four in a row and seven of eight. The Angels are 5-17 as an underdog, and 2-14 as a road underdog. Angels 24-year-old lefty Andrew Heaney has been impressive, but he's allowed two runs in each of his last two starts as opponents are starting to get some scouting reports on him. The Angels are 0-7 in interleague games as a dog, including 2-8 in interleague games vs. a left-handed starter. They face the best lefty in the game in Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (2.51 ERA). Kershaw extended his scoreless streak to 29 innings July 23 when he posted his third straight victory by limiting the Mets to three hits over nine innings. He was 3-0 with a 0.27 ERA and 45 strikeouts against two walks in four starts in July! The Dodgers are 49-22 as a home favorite and have won four in a row against the Angels. Play the Dodgers.
