The end of August wasn’t very good to the Dodgers (92-43), and so far, September has been only marginally better. While they took the first game of the series against the Padres (61-75), they only managed one run, and yesterday, they dropped both games of the day-night doubleheader. Today, the Dodgers’ aim is to not lose their third consecutive series, and they’ll do so behind Alex Wood (2.41 ERA, 2.96 FIP, 3.02 DRA).
