Lifetime against New York, Harang is 3-4 with an ERA of 6.09.<\/p>\n Johan Santana is slated to get the start for New York. He has gotten shelled in his last two starts; giving-up 13 earned runs on 21 hits. Overall, the left-hander is 6-6 in 18 starts with a 3.59 ERA. Santana has owned the Dodgers over the course of his career with a perfect 5-0 record and ridiculous ERA of 0.50, which includes eight innings of scoreless ball on June 30.<\/p>\n Los Angeles is 1-4 in Harang\u2019s last five starts, while New York is 5-2 in Santana\u2019s last seven starts at home. The Dodgers are 2-6 in the last eight meetings and 1-5 in their last six games at Citi Field.

The right-hander has lost his last six outings after jumping-out to a 5-1 start. The right-hander has an overall ERA of 4.70 in 16 previous starts. Norris has had some forgettable outings against Arizona with a 0-3 record and 10.91 ERA.<\/p>\n The Diamondbacks are scheduled to go with Trevor Cahill as their starter. He has posted just one quality outing in his last four starts, but has only given-up more than four earned runs once in his last 10. The right-hander is now 7-8 on the year with a 3.71 ERA.<\/p>\n The Astros are 0-6 in Norris\u2019s last six starts on the road. Arizona is 13-5 in its last 18 home games.
