The Dodgers remained unbeaten in the month of August as they ran their win streak to 11 games with an 8-3 triumph over the Royals in the opening game of this series. Los Angeles has been on fire at the plate, putting up at least seven runs in eight of their 11 games in this stretch. Since the All-Star break, the Dodgers entered Friday having averaged 6.35 runs per game while posting a .289/.348/.504 slash line at the plate. Brad Keller gives up a hit an inning (119 hits in 119.1 innings pitched) and has walked 44 while striking out 80. He's a pitch to contact type of guy, which is precisely the type of guy the Dodgers love to beat on. Andrew Heaney has been solid since coming off the shelf, going 1-0 with a 0.64 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, 10 walks and 37 strikeouts over 28 innings in six starts this season. The Royals are weak at the plate and their youth movement can't keep up with the Dodgers' explosive attack here.
