The Los Angeles Dodgers are a major leagues' best 24-9 on the season. They should have no trouble taking care of business here in the opener of a three-game interleague series with the lowly Texas Rangers who are one of the worst teams at 11-19.

Dodgers righty Dustin May (1-1, 2.79 ERA) is having a solid season and the team has won five of his six starts. Last time out, May limited the Rockies to one run on two hits over five frames.

Texas left-hander Mike Minor (0-5, 6.75 ERA) on the other hand is having a disastrous year. Last time out, Minor gave up four runs on five hits (three homers) in a 4-1 loss at Seattle.
