Tonight's #Dodgers lineup at Athletics: https://t.co/9mOc4txmpA

What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers released their starting lineup ahead of the third game of their series against the Athletics. First pitch is scheduled, with the Dodgers holding a 2-0 series lead. The card follows lineup releases the club posted ahead of the first two meetings.

Why it matters: The Dodgers arrive as one of the National League's hottest teams, sitting at 55-30 while carrying the NL West-best record into the road trip. The Athletics, at 40-45 and losers of three straight, are looking to avoid falling deeper in the set. How the posted order performs will shape whether Los Angeles keeps its momentum on the road.

By the numbers: Series to date: Los Angeles Dodgers 9, Athletics 3 (June 30) and Los Angeles Dodgers 9, Athletics 4 (June 29). Season records: Dodgers 55-30 (last five WWWLW, scoring 5.3, allowing 3.5); Athletics 40-45 (last five LLLWW, scoring 4.6, allowing 5.3).

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of the starting pitchers and whether the Athletics can slow a Dodgers offense that has posted nine runs in each of the first two games.
