Overview

• The three-game series opens Monday night in Anaheim, marking Buehler’s first Southern California start since helping the Dodgers win the 2024 World Series.
• Buehler has struggled this month, posting an 11.68 ERA and allowing eight earned runs in 3⅓ innings during his last outing in Seattle.
• The Angels will counter with Jack Kochanowicz, who is 0-3 in his last six starts and hasn’t faced Boston before.
• Boston went 3-3 on its nine-game road trip but committed two errors in San Francisco that led to five unearned runs in a 9-5 loss.
• Los Angeles dropped two of three to the division-leading Astros over the weekend despite Zach Neto’s first career pinch-hit homer.
