The Dodgers are just 10-29 in their last 39 inter league games vs. a LH starter and 16-53 int heir last 69 interleague games as an under dog. While the Angels are 38-14 in their last 52 vs. the NL West and 37-16 in their last 53 interleague road games. Having said all that the Angels are also red hot winning 8 in a row and will face the Dodgers who have been ice cold. The Dodgers will face a lefty in C.J. Wilson today who had a 7 inning gem against them last year.
The Dodgers are scoring 1 run less vs. LHP than the Angels are against RHP while the Angels bullpen is also better on the road than the Dodgers at home. Over the last 10 games the Dodgers are scoring 3 runs less per 9 vs. LHP than the Angels are vs. RHP. Wilson has always been solid on the road posting a 3.02 ERA over the last three years and has held Dodgers hitters to a .581 OPS over 77 AB. Zach Greinke will have his hands full against his old team and if he doesn't get an early lead he'll be in even bigger trouble as the Dodgers are 0-19 trailing after 6 innings this year.
The Grizzlies are 10-0 after losing at home this year. The Spurs exerted a ton of energy in game 3 and it may come back to bite them here today, but they will still be up 3-1 and no team has ever come back from that defecit, but don't tell the Grizzlies players that. They were down 0-2 vs. the Thunder and dominated the rest of the series winning 4 straight. The Spurs are just 6-14 ATS in their last 20 on 1 days rest where the Grizzlies are 12-3-1 in their last 16. I expect them to recover quickly and be more ready for this game. As Mike Conley said it would be embarrassing if they got swept so I look for them to avoid that here on Monday night.
