Prediction

The Dodgers are sending rookie right-hander River Ryan to the mound in this contest. He made his MLB debut earlier this week against the San Francisco Giants, going 5.1 innings allowing zero runs and striking out two. Ryan will look to stop the bleeding for the Dodgers. As for Houston, they are sending Spencer Arrighetti (4-8, 5.65 ERA) to the mound.

The Dodgers blew Saturday's game but they salvage this series behind another strong outing from Ryan. Los Angeles avoids the sweep on the road.

Dodgers 5, Astros 3
