The Dodgers open a short two-game set in Texas Tuesday, playing their final interleague series of the regular season. The Dodgers are 10-8 against American League teams this season, including 2-0 against Texas back in June.
It’s funny how a weekend playing the Padres can brighten the outlook a bit. Especially since the Dodgers gained 2.5 games in the standings from prior to Friday night’s game through Monday night. Much like the series against San Diego, the Dodgers have to take care of business against another bottom-ten team in baseball.
The Rangers are 17-18 since the All-Star break despite a league-worst 5.
