This is an 8* on LA DODGERS

The Dodgers look to shake off their recent slump and won’t have to travel far to do so as they take on their cross-town rivals. The Angels are slumping even worse right now as they’ve lost five in a row (Dodgers have lost three in a row) and were just swept at home by Tampa Bay. No team is giving up more runs per game this year than are the Angels. Did we mention the Dodgers get to use the designated hitter this weekend. We realize that the Dodgers’ have been slumping at the plate, but they still come in averaging almost five runs per contest. They were 6-0 against the Angels last year. Getting to face Griffin Canning seems like a favorable matchup as he has a 6.00 ERA in four starts. Julio Urias has been good for the Dodgers so far and has been downright dominant on the road where he’s 3-0 and has a 0.48 WHIP. Urias has given up no more than three runs in all but one of his starts and had 10 strikeouts in a 16-4 win against Milwaukee Sunday. Play on LA DODGERS
