Game Preview
On Wednesday, August 24th at Progressive Field in Cleveland, the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Cleveland Guardians for Game 2 of a three-game interleague series between them.
On Tuesday night, Cleveland came from behind to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3. Kole Calhoun’s majestic 3-run blast completed a 5-run 7th inning that helped Cleveland cool down the Dodgers, who had lost only 3 games throughout August. Baseball’s hottest club was stunned by the Guardians after they came back from a deficit to defeat them. Calhoun, who had been acquired early in the month in a deal from the NL West leading team for money, homered off reliever Caleb Ferguson.
Within the AL Central division, the Guardians sit 6 games in the rear. Despite their dismal record, they possess an opportunity to get to the playoffs if they win their division. The two most recent contests, as well as 6 of the previous ten, were losses for the Guardians. However, their luck has not improved during the month of August. The Guardians have gone 6-12 in August. If Cleveland wants to have any hope of surpassing the Minnesota Twins, they must begin to win more of their matches.
Xzavion Curry will be the starting pitcher for Cleveland Guardians, with a 3-1 record, a 3.24 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP and 52 strikeouts.
The Dodgers came in as the sport’s top squad in August. In the 19 matches they completed this month, the Dodgers are 17-2. Within the NL West, Los Angeles has extended their series advantage to 12 games. The main uncertainty is if they will receive the first seed, even though they are certain to win the NL West. There continues to be time to make up as the Dodgers stay 3.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves for the top playoff seed. Each of the 6 of Los Angeles’ series this month have ended in victories.
Los Angeles will send Clayton Kershaw to the mound in this game. He is coming in with a 11-4 record, an ERA of 2.48, a WHIP of 1.03 and 11 strikeouts.
