Will the Dodgers Performance Be Enough to Secure NL West Title?
The Los Angeles Dodgers currently hold a four-game advantage in the NL West standings, despite dropping three of their last five games. Will this team's performance be enough to maintain the lead in the division title race? The Dodgers have been effective offensively, averaging 5.67 runs per game (2nd best in the league), while boasting a .247 batting average (18th), .790 OPS (3rd), and 164 home runs (2nd). Additionally, they have 57 stolen bases (24th) this year. The pitching staff is also competitive, with a 4.41 ERA (20th) and 1.26 WHIP (10th), as well as 34 quality starts this season (15th). On Wednesday afternoon, Gonsolin will be taking the mound for the home team. In his last outing against Texas, he gave up four runs in five frames, which follows a pattern of giving up four-plus runs in four of his last five starts. His last start against the Mariners was back in 2020, when he gave up just two hits and zero runs in six innings.
