The Dodgers try for an interleague series win on Sunday afternoon in their finale against the Red Sox at Dodger Stadium.
Brandon McCarthy takes the mound for the Dodgers, making his seventh start since returning from the disabled list. He has a 3.86 ERA at Dodger Stadium compared to 1.76 on the road, but his FIP is much closer, 3.28 at home and 2.87 away, thanks in part to a 36.8-percent strikeout rate at home compared to 24.1 percent on the road.
Both of McCarthy’s home runs allowed this season came at home.
The Dodgers have held their opponents without a home run 46 times this season, including Saturday, and are 34-12 in those games, including 18-4 in such games at Dodger Stadium.
