Atlanta @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( May 26, 2015 ) Atlanta 0, LA Dodgers 8

Los Angeles is difficult to defeat at Dodger Stadium, and no one knows this better than the Atlanta Braves. Los Angeles on Wednesday tries to improve its major league-best home record to 22-6 and defeat Atlanta for the ninth time in the last 10 meetings at Chavez Ravine when it goes for a sweep of the Braves in the finale of their three-game series.

The Dodgers are unbeaten in 13 consecutive series at home (12-0-1) - the longest active streak in baseball - after registering an 8-0 victory Tuesday as Adrian Gonzalez reached a milestone. Los Angeles' first baseman hit a two-run homer - the Dodgers' National League-leading 61st - to increase his RBI total to 1,001 and raise his average to .346, second in the NL to Miami's Dee Gordon (.368). Atlanta is 0-2 on its 10-game road trip and scored eight runs in its last five games after suffering its second shutout during that span. Los Angeles' Zack Greinke hasn't won in his last three outings (0-1) despite yielding one run in each game after winning five straight starts and opposes Alex Wood, who missed his scheduled start Friday because of a stomach virus and has yielded only two home runs in 47 innings this season.

Jimmy Rollins is 0-for-14 against Wood, who struck out 11 while yielding one run over 9 2/3 innings in three appearances (one start) versus Los Angeles.

Greinke received a no-decision after scattering six hits over 7 2/3 innings of a 2-1 victory over San Diego on Friday. The 31-year-old Floridian has permitted more than one run only twice in nine starts this season while sporting an 0.87 WHIP and .187 batting average against.
