The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 2 of their doubleheader on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers lead the series 1-0 and the overall season series 12-3.
Last night, the Dodgers won 5-2 to win Game 1 of a five-game series against the Diamondbacks. They have a 102-44 record this year, 50-18 at home. Even though they have already secured a berth in the playoffs, they don't appear to be ready to completely overwhelm their opponents just yet. In order to secure the series, they will want to win tonight's doubleheader.
As the Diamondbacks prepare to play the Dodgers in a doubleheader for Games 2 and 3, their odds of winning a game in this series appear to be quite remote given their current four-game losing run. Their hopes of making the playoffs are all but gone, so they'll just try to look good by defeating the tenacious Dodgers at least once.
The Dodgers will start the highly experienced Tyler Anderson on the mound for Game 2 of the doubleheader. He has an ERA of 2.62, a 1.03 WHIP, 119 Ks, and a W-L of 15-3. He has faced the Diamondbacks thrice before, and has only given up two runs on 17 hits with 15 Ks in 20.0 IP. He commands authority against the Diamondbacks and will be looking to get the win tonight.

The Diamondbacks will start their RH relief pitcher, Drey Jameson, on the hill. This will be only his second start of the season, and in his previous start against the San Diego Padres, he got the win, giving up no runs on a miserly two hits in seven IP. He is in the nascent stages of his major league career and will be looking to make a mark tonight.
