The Los Angeles Dodgers were slow out of the gate but it appears they are now on track. They will go for their third straight win tonight when they host the Oakland Athletics in the final game of a quick 2-game set at Chavez Ravine. The Dodgers took the first game last night, launching 3 homers in a 4-0 shutout. Tonight Los Angeles is expected to send the southpaw Alex Wood to the rubber. Wood has yet to post a win, at 0-1, but has pitched superbly. He has an ERA of 1.93, a 0.50 WHIP, with 10 strikeouts, no walks and no home runs. Daniel Mengden is expected to get the nod for Oakland. Mengden has struggled thus far, at 0-2, with a 6.55 ERA, and a 1.27 WHIP. Oakland has not had success against lefties, going 0-4 in their last 4, and they are 1-4 in their last 5 games overall. Consider the Dodgers in this one.
