The records tell the story you'd expect — 26-18 vs 16-28 — but the Halos took all 6 Freeway Series games last year, so there's at least a recent receipt for the home dog price. Both clubs are also limping into this one. The Dodgers have dropped 3 of their last 5; the Angels have dropped 4 of their last 5. Nobody's exactly steamrolling.
The injury report is where this gets ugly for both sides. The Dodgers are running a bullpen held together with tape — Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, Brock Stewart, Ben Casparius, Edwin Diaz, Jake Cousins are all unavailable, on top of Glasnow, Gavin Stone, Bobby Miller and Landon Knack out of the rotation. If Snell doesn't go deep, Dave Roberts is in trouble.

The Angels aren't whole either — both catchers (Logan O'Hoppe and Travis d'Arnaud) are on the IL, Anthony Rendon is shelved again, and Yusei Kikuchi just got shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks. Total is sitting at 9, which feels about right if Snell is actually Snell. If he's the version that showed up in Atlanta, take the over and go to sleep early.
