The last time Alex Wood pitched in a game that counted, the Angels still were alive in the race for a playoff berth. When the Dodgers hand him the ball for Game 4 of the National League Championship Series Wednesday, Wood will be working on three weeks of rest. “We’re kind of back to being the fun Dodgers now,” Wood said. In the five games he started on the normal four days of rest this season, he posted a 0.94 ERA. The Dodgers hope the rest, and a couple of simulated games, have revived Wood.
