Has anybody noticed anything strange going on? Since the Dodgers are riding into their interleague series with a two-game losing streak suffered on the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks, we thought it was probably a shift in dimensions or something else in a super natural spectrum, but apparently not. The Dodgers, one of the strongest teams in all of baseball, will be looking to revert their luck and get back to their usual winning ways as they host the Tigers for the first of a three-game weekend interleague series.
The first game of the series will showcase a battle of the Tyler’s on the mound as the Dodger will be sending LHP Tyler Anderson against Detroit’s LHP Tyler Alexander to see which Tyler will end up reining supreme in their series opener.
Game Preview
When you’re a team as strong as the Los Angeles Dodgers, wins are expected but losses can be taken as tragedies depending on who you ask. If you look at all the stats surrounding the team, they read as a what’s what of baseball supremacy, especially from a pitching perspective, but yet the Dodgers will be entering this series against Detroit after losing their last two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, a team that at first glance should’ve been a walk in the park for Los Angeles.
But that’s the way baseball works, and nobody is here to debate it. With that said, the Dodgers cannot afford to lose more games and enter the unknown and uncharted territories of serious losing streaks, so a win against Detroit to start the series is a must.
Detroit on the other hand aren’t looking any better, especially with the five-game losing streak that they are carrying into their series in LA against the Dodgers. While they had one of the best feel-good moments in recent times when their veteran legend Miguel Cabrera entered the 3,000 hit club last weekend against Colorado, everything else around Tigers camp continues to feel as stale as ever.
With Detroit we’re talking about a team that can hit, but can’t score runs, and if you know at least two cents about baseball you know that runs are what make teams win, so for the Tigers, unless someone points them to the obvious and they start producing more and more runs, losses will continue to pile up.
As for their pitching department, it can be considered from regular to decent, but that’s about it, which puts even more pressure on starter Tyler Alexander to come out with his best material against an offense as strong as the one the Dodgers have. If Alexander pitches some of his best baseball then Detroit could have a fighting chance here for a win, but if they let the Dodgers take an early lead, it will all be done very soon for the Tigers.
