Detmers has lost both career starts versus the Dodgers with a 9.35 ERA.
In six starts in Anaheim this season, Detmers has a 1-2 mark and 4.65 ERA. He is 1-4 with a 4.57 ERA in nine starts at night. The Angels have a 4-8 record when he takes the mound.

The Dodgers caught a break when Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was placed on the injured list Monday with a left wrist contusion. Rendon has a .387 lifetime batting average against Kershaw, going 12 for 31 with one double and two home runs.
Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, on the other hand, is hitless in eight at-bats with three strikeouts and first baseman Brandon Drury is 3 for 22 (.136) with a double, two homers and 12 strikeouts.
Dodgers vs Angels Betting Outlook
Ohtani and Mike Trout hit back-to-back home runs to lead the Angels over the Royals on Sunday. Jared Walsh also connected for Los Angeles.
Trout and Drury had two hits each. Ohtani drove in two runs and is a -250 favorite in the AL MVP odds.

The Dodgers got two hits each from Will Smith, David Peralta and James Outman in Sunday’s loss to the Giants. Third baseman Chris Taylor missed his second straight game with a bruised right knee and is questionable for Tuesday.
