Game Preview
The Pirates are currently on a roll after sweeping the Reds and Pirates, which makes the team’s strong start a little shocking. For the Dodgers, Max Muncy had a rough start but has recently been on fire. However, the Dodgers will need to find a replacement bat because he will be placed on the paternity list. They arrive after winning three of four games against the Cubs and aim to overtake them as the NL West’s top team.
Since 1992, the Pirates are off to their finest start. Vince Velasquez gave them the victory last night. With just three earned runs allowed in the previous 19 innings, he has now made three straight strong starts. With his excellent sliders, he has been getting batters out and keeping the Reds off balance. The Pirates’ pitching has been excellent. They presently hold the eighth-best baseball ranking with a 3.63 team ERA.
The Dodgers have won four of their last six games to raise their season total back above .500. With 121 runs, they are tied for fourth in the majors, they have done a terrific job scoring this season. They are only hitting.229 as a club, which ranks 25th in MLB, so they are not hitting particularly well.
Let’s check the latest MLB news, stats and MLB expert picks for Dodgers vs Pirates. We’ve plenty of MLB Predictions for you to consider.
LA’s 107 walks this season have increased their league-leading on-base percentage to.327. However, the pitching has not been up to par. The Dodgers’ 4.37 collective ERA ranks 19th in Major League Baseball. With a 5.05 ERA as a bullpen and only four saves for the year, the bullpen has performed poorly.
The Dodgers may need to rely more heavily on Shelby Miller and Brusdar Graterol out of the pen. They have been the season’s top two bullpen pitchers, each of whom has pitched more than ten innings and has an ERA below 2.6. Additionally, they haven’t allowed a home run this season, unlike the majority of the bullpen. Both of them have been able to escape jams despite neither of them having a WHIP below 1.00. The alternative is to watch their starters go early in games.
