There have been fireworks on the field every time the Astros have faced the Dodgers since the sign-stealing scandal exploded. Good, explosive baseball plus off-field comments and bench-clearing brawls have created an exciting rivalry between two of the most powerful teams in baseball. After splitting a two-game series in late May, this time they will meet each other for two games at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers are supposed to be sort of the juggernaut of the National League and even baseball in general, but they’ve had it hard to find consistency as of late, losing eight of their last 14 games.
