Well, well, well, the scheduling gods gave the Dodgers a little gift. Their first series after the All-Star Game in Miami is...also in Miami. Does this mean Kershaw, Turner, Bellinger, Seager, Wood, and Jansen just chilled on the beach all week? Must be nice! (We do know Kershaw is getting this series off, for extra rest.) Let's hope they didn't get too complacent, and they can keep their foot on the gas as the second "half" begins. They're currently 7.5 games ahead of the DBacks, 9.5 games ahead of the Rockies (both teams still hold the two Wild Card spots, despite recent skids), and just because it's fun to mention, TWENTY-SEVEN GAMES in front of the Giants.
Fri, 4p: Brandon McCarthy vs. Dan Straily
Sat, 4p: Alex Wood vs. Jose Ureña
Sun, 10a: Rich Hill vs. Edinson Volquez
