LOS ANGELES —- The Dodgers have continued to win series in August but it has been a little tougher of late. Today the Dodgers play their third series finale this month with the series win on the line. They won the first two times, in Atlanta and then this week in Arizona; we’ll see if they can win today to make it three for three.
This season, the Dodgers have won 23 series, lost six and tied eight. Since dropping their home series against the Washington Nationals in the first week of June, they have won 15 series and tied three.
.@Dodgers haven't lost a series since June 5-7 vs Nationals.
