The Dodgers took advantage of a homestand vs. some spooked rivals after the All-Star break, but that all changes tonight in Houston, where the Astros and their backers are sick and tired about hearing the Blue complain about the 2017 World Series. Gavin Stone's numbers deceive for LA, as he has done his best in favorable matchups. Yert note the last time he faced a competent side on the road, he was routed at Philly two weeks ago. Tonight he has to outduel Framber Valdez, with a nice 2.97 ERA across his last five starts, all wins for the Astros, who have surged to the lead in the AL West thanks to a 41-25 uptick since mid-May.
