Dodgers vs. Angels: How to watch, streaming options and start times
What you need to know: Two teams that are going in opposite directions will be on display Friday when the Dodgers open a two-game Freeway Series against the Angels at Angel Stadium.
The Dodgers, who have won 13 out of their last 15 games, arrive in Anaheim fresh from a three-game sweep of the Cardinals after their 4-0 shutout win Thursday at St. Louis.
The Dodgers (58-30) are now 9½ games ahead of second-place San Diego in the National League West. A little more than three weeks ago, they were tied with the Padres for first place.
Here’s why MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred might have a hard time convincing Congress to keep the baseball’s antitrust exemption intact as it stands.
Meanwhile, the Angels’ extra-innings loss to Houston on Thursday was their eighth defeat in their last 10 games, and it left them 20 behind the Astros in the American League West with a fourth-place record of 39-51.
Friday’s game will feature a pair of left-handed starting pitchers — Clayton Kershaw, who is 6-2 with a 2.40 earned-run average for the Dodgers, and Patrick Sandoval, who is 3-4 with a 2.95 ERA for the Angels.
The teams met earlier in mid-June for a two-game set and the Dodgers won both contests.
