Los Angeles Dodgers Analysis

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered game one of the series in a rather shaky state, as they were limited to only four hits and didn't gain their first run until the 8th inning off triple from Will Smith. Starter, Clayton Kershaw, gave up six runs in less than an inning without striking out a single batter. For game two, RHP Bobby Miller will be taking the mound for the Dodgers. Miller has recorded an 11-4 record this year, with an ERA of 3.76. He has kept the amount of walks issued low as well, but he also has a strong strikeout rate, retiring 8.6 batters per nine innings pitched. The Dodgers have achieved impressive offensive results throughout the season; they rank amongst the top 10 for batting average and rank 2nd in baseball with over 1.5 home runs per game. Statistics aside, the Dodgers have also remained disciplined at the plate with top 10 rankings in both walks received and strikeouts per game. Though the Diamondbacks have been able to secure wins against Los Angeles in their last 3 matchups, the Dodgers are still looking to gain ground in the race for the Wild Card. Offense: #2 Defense: #11 Overall Record: 100-63 Last 3 matchups against AZ: 2-1 ERA of 3.76 Record: 11-4 Strikeout rate: 8.6 batters/9 innings pitched Batting average: Top 10 ranking Home Runs: Over 1.5 per game Walks Received: Top 10 ranking Strikeouts: Top 10 ranking

Diamondbacks Dominate in Game One of Postseason, Dodgers' Intensity Expected to Return for Game Two

The Diamondbacks won game one, scoring nine runs in the first two innings. The Dodgers came out flat and the extended rest did not help. The loss likely motivates the club as they enter the win-or-go-home phase of the postseason. Miller is relatively inexperienced in playoff scenarios but has had a successful season, particularly with strikeouts. The Dodgers have fared well against Gallen this season and look to take advantage of this after their unimpressive start. I expect the Dodgers to come back with great intensity for game two.
