 The Dodgers and Rangers last met in 2018, when Los Angeles swept the four-game season series and outhomered Texas, 8-1, in those contests. The Dodgers have never lost a three-game series on the road against Texas in three previous instances, going a combined 7-2 in those outings.

 With a victory in the opener, the Dodgers can reach 25 wins in a season in the fewest games since the 1981 world championship team started 25-9. Los Angeles is one of four teams since 2005 to win 24 or more of its first 33 games in a season, and the other three all won the World Series that year (2005 White Sox, 2016 Cubs, 2018 Red Sox).

 The Rangers have been outscored by an 84-43 margin in losing 11 of their last 12 games. Texas' minus-54 run differential is the lowest in MLB this season and the worst in franchise history through 30 games of a season. The Dodgers lead the majors with a plus-86 run differential.

 Joey Gallo has six home runs, 14 RBI and a 1.104 OPS in 15 games against NL teams this season and is batting .068 with one homer and a .348 OPS in 13 games against the AL. Gallo's +.756 difference in OPS between leagues is the second-largest of any qualified player this season (Manny Machado, +.801).

 A.J. Pollock has hit safely in all 10 of his career games against Texas, the longest streak against any opponent to begin his career. Pollock is batting .333 (11-for-33) in interleague games this season compared to a .242 average against the NL, though all six of his home runs have come off NL pitchers.

 Mike Minor enters Friday's scheduled start trying to avoid joining Scott Feldman (2012) as the only Rangers starting pitchers in the last 25 years to lose their first six decisions in a season. Texas starters other than Lance Lynn are a combined 2-14 with a 7.03 ERA in 2020.

HP - Hamari, 1B - Hudson, 2B - Muchlinski, 3B - Tomlinson

Texas ace Lance Lynn will take the mound on Saturday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers in an attempt to give the Rangers their first series in three weeks.
Shin-Soo Choo had two hits, two RBIs and two runs as the Rangers earned a 6-2 win over the Dodgers on Friday in the opener of a three-game series at Arlington, Texas. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Texas, which earned just its second win in 12 games.

Lynn, Rangers look to seal series win over Dodgers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  Cody Bellinger and the Los Angeles Dodgers stuck to their plan against Lance Lynn, and tagged the Texas workhorse starter with his first loss of the season.
Lynn's next start could be for a team like the Dodgers, a contender in this shortened MLB season.
