They can end that drought and become the first team in the majors to 60 wins today against the Cincinnati Reds, who haven’t won at Dodger Stadium since 2005.

The current three-game run has boosted their division lead to eight games over second-place Colorado.

The streak has a good chance to continue if Randy Wolf can provide another quality start, something the lefthander has given the Dodgers in each of his last four outings.

Wolf has often looked sharp against the Reds, going 8-2 with a 3.15 ERA in 15 career starts.

The -200 favored Dodgers have never faced Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey, who will get the ball today.

The Reds are 3-18 against the Dodgers overall since the start of 2006.
