The Dodgers come into Wednesday as the second-place team in the National League West with a 24-18 record in 42 games.

Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation wrote: “The Dodgers have gone 9-14 in their last 23 games. In that stretch they’ve hit 22 home runs. That’s 22/30 teams. Their team BA (.242) and wRC+ (99) is 14/30 in MLB around middle of the pack. Their 96 runs ranks 18/30. If they aren’t homering at a high rate, they’re below avg.”
Following two more games with the Giants, the Dodgers will visit Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
