Nearing The Bottom

The Dodgers look to snap their latest three-game losing streak tonight, facing the Giants in the second game of their three-game set at AT&T Park. The Dodgers have had nine losing streaks of three games or more this season. That has contributed to the Dodgers having one of the worst records in baseball since last year's All-Star break.

The Giants are 101-70 during that span, second in the majors to Philadelphia (109-61).

Tonight's Pitchers: Fun With ERA & Splits

On the surface, the Dodgers appear to hold an advantage in tonight's pitching matchup, as Rubby De La Rosa has a 2.50 ERA on the road (all of 18 innings), and Madison Bumgarner has a 5.36 ERA at home. However, upon further examination of peripherals, De La Rosa has a 3.57 FIP and 4.02 xFIP on the road (again, only 18 innings), while Bumgarner has a 2.22 FIP and 2.99 xFIP at AT&T Park. Bumgarner on the season is third in the NL in FIP (2.46) and 13th in xFIP (3.11).

Lineups

Andre Ethier sits against the lefty Bumgarner tonight, with Juan Rivera starting in right field and batting third.

The Giants recalled Brandon Belt from Triple A, optioning Hector Sanchez. In addition, the Giants acquired utility infielder Jeff Keppinger from Houston for pitchers Jason Stoffel and Henry Sosa. San Francisco will need to make another roster move once Keppinger arrives tomorrow.
