Dodgers Analysis: Mookie Betts is playing lights out
Over the weekend, the Dodgers faced the Chicago Cubs and encountered several problems. In the Saturday match, LA prevailed 4-1, but lost the other two 9-7 and 8-1. Los Angeles defeated the Twins 4-2 on Monday by amassing ten team hits. James Outman ended with a solo home run, as did Shohei Ohtani (3 hits, one run). The Dodgers will start Tyler Glasnow in the rotation for Tuesday’s second game. In his 3 starts this season, Glasnow has a 3.18 ERA, 15 strikeouts in 17.0 innings, and a 2-0 record. Throughout his career, Glasnow is 32-27 with a 3.87 ERA in 130 games (91 starts). Right now, Mookie Betts leads the National League in the majority of hitting statistics.
Twins Analysis: They’ve lost 3 consecutive matches
The Twins failed to perform well in their first two games versus the rival Guardians. Prior to the postponement of Sunday’s series finale, Minnesota lost its opening 2 games. On Tuesday, Louie Varland will take the mound in an attempt to continue his winning run. In 4.0 innings, he gave up 3 runs and 6 hits in his season debut. Varland has pitched 98.0 innings with a 4.50 ERA. A bullpen behind him started this series with an MLB-best 0.98 ERA. In both WAR and FIP, Minnesota’s relievers rank eleventh. Given how slowly the attack has started, they most likely will have to slow down the Dodgers with their pitching. With an average of just 3.00 runs per game, the Twins are tied for 27th place.
