Archer set to start for the Rays vs Dodgers - Handicappers Hideaway

Norris will have the edge in experience when he meets Chris Archer in
the opener of a two-game set Tuesday in Los Angeles. Norris' most recent
outing came in relief, two days after his last start. He pitched during
the 15th inning Friday night against the Cardinals and gave up a
walk-off home run to Matt Adams in the 16th with the Dodgers short on
arms. Norris has allowed 20 runs (19 earned) in 37 innings over seven
appearances (six starts) in his career against the Rays.



On the other side Archer will lack the familiarity in his first career
appearance against Los Angeles. The Rays are 2-10 in Archer's last 12
starts, and he owns a 4.74 ERA in 74 innings with opponents hitting .248
against him over that stretch. He is 2-1 in Interleague Play this
season with a 4.00 ERA over 18 innings and three starts.



This will be the beginning for the The Dodgers of a five-game homestand
with a two-game set against The Tampa Bay Rays starting Tuesday night.

They are rumored to have interest in Rays right-hander Chris Archer. The
fact that Los Angeles president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman
worked for Tampa in a similar capacity for nine seasons before being
lured here adds to the intrigue. A deal for Archer might shore up some
of the void left by injured ace Clayton Kershaw, who is on the 15 day
disabled list with mild disc herniation and whose return is unknown.
