The Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers play their fourth game of their five-game series tonight in LA.
The Dodgers are in cruise control as they wait for the playoffs to start. They have won their division and are three wins away from clinching the National League's best record. Given their schedule, they could have their Triple-A club play their remaining games and still pick up the necessary wins.

Pitching in this one is Madison Bumgarner for the Diamondbacks and Dustin May for the Dodgers.
Throughout his career, Bumgarner has been a Dodger killer. Including his time in San Francisco, he has a 2.93 ERA against LA and averaged almost a K an inning. He did allow five runs in his last outing at the Stadium, but that was merely a blimp in his otherwise perfect game log against the boys in blue.
Missing most of the season with an injury, May has been stellar since returning in late August. He had one bad outing against the San Diego Padres, but he still holds an ERA of 3.46. He's finding his stuff just in time for the playoffs.
