The Dodgers are a well put together baseball team, but they are not playing very well right now. Their offense has been pretty good, but their pitching has been inconsistent. They are scoring 5.3 runs per game while giving up 6. Despite their struggles on the road, they have played very good at home and have a record of 4-2 there. I'm sure they still have a bad taste in their mouth after getting swept by the Mets and they are probably looking to avenge their series loss in Pittsburgh to begin the year, so this is going to be a tough one for the Bucs. We don't exactly have the best rotation of pitchers going out to pitch this series, so we are going to have to bring the lumber. I would very happy if we come out of Los Angeles with a series split.
