The Angels will go with Patrick Sandoval for Friday's contest, who is 3-4 with a 2.95 ERA. Sandoval has been excellent this year, but he's lacked run support. Even though his ERA is still under 3, he has been hit around in his last two starts. He has given up 13 hits and six earned runs in his previous 11 1/3 innings of work.
Tonight, Sandoval will face a Dodgers lineup that ranks second in runs per game. Lately, they're averaging 11 hits per contest over their last four. Look for the Dodgers to make Sandoval work in the first game of this series.
Clayton Kershaw will be taking the hill Friday on the other side. He is 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA this year. The Dodgers have been excellent in his career versus the Angels. They've won 10 of his last 11 with Kershaw starting when matched up with their crosstown rivals. The southpaw has been great in his previous two starts. In these outings, he's only allowed one earned run in 15 frames.
