The Dodgers have been pretty impressive, winning their first two games of their three-game series vs. the Yanks.

Dane Dunning will take the mound for the Rangers on Tuesday. The 29-year-old starter has played and started 10 games for his team this season and holds a 4-4 record along with an ERA of 4.09, WHIP of 1.18 and 57 strikeouts.

Both teams have faced each other for a total of 36 times in their MLB history. The Dodgers have an upper hand in this rivalry with a 22-14 record over the Rangers. Keeping this in mind and also their recent form, Dave Roberts' side are the favorites to win the first game of this series on Tuesday.
