 The Dodgers have won five of their last six games, scoring at least six runs in four of those games while also shutting out their opponent three times. Their +65 run differential is the best in the National League and their best through 48 games of the season since 2009 (+88).

 Hunter Wood goes on the mound for the Rays today, likely another use of the Rays' "opener". They are 8-5 this season when their starter pitches two or fewer innings. No other team has more than seven such games this season.

 This is just the sixth ever series between the Dodgers and Rays, and the first since 2016, with Los Angeles winning eight of the 13 games. It will be the second time the Rays will face the Dodgers with a winning record (also in 2013).

 Clayton Kershaw has a 2.14 ERA in interleague play in his career, and AL opponents have hit .199 against him. Both are the best in MLB history among pitchers with at least 20 interleague starts. He is 9-0 in his last 14 interleague starts going back to August 2015.

 Since returning from the injured list on May 10, Austin Meadows has hit .296 with a 1.091 OPS, starting five of those games in the leadoff spot. When batting in the leadoff spot this season, he has a .333/.417/.702 slash line -- all three are best by a leadoff batter in MLB (minimum 75 plate appearances).

 The Dodgers are 28-12 in interleague play since 2017, tied with the Astros for second best in MLB (Red Sox, 34-11). The Rays have a 3.10 ERA in interleague play since then, second best in baseball behind only the Astros (2.63).

Two of the best pitching staffs in baseball will not have much time to get acquainted as their two-game interleague series concludes Wednesday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The Tampa Bay Rays, who lead baseball with a 3.05 staff ERA, are playing host to a Los Angeles Dodgers team that is trying its best to be an unruly visitor. The Dodgers took a 7-3 victory in the series opener Tuesday as Clayton Kershaw held the Rays scoreless into the seventh inning.

Pitching-rich Dodgers, Rays face off in series finale

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)  It was a night of redemption for Kevin Kiermaier, who hit a three-run homer and made the biggest defensive play of the game to lead the Tampa Bay Rays past the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 on Wednesday.
One day earlier, Kiermaier's baserunning blunder took the Rays out of a 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.
