World Series Clash: Can Explosive Offenses Rewrite Baseball History?
The Dodgers are one of the best teams in baseball and are kind of flying under the radar. I guess when everyone assumes that they are going to be the best team in baseball or march toward another World Series they don’t command quite as much attention. The reality is that the Dodgers are getting better right now because they are getting healthier. Their pitching staff is finally looking like they have the depth that should scare everyone. Imagine having to face Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and today’s starter, Blake Snell, in a series. Expectations are high, and for the Dodgers, they are World Series or bust. For the year, Snell only has 14 innings under his belt. He is 1-1 for the year with a 3.21 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP. Snell should eventually round into form, just like he did last year for the Giants. In his last start, which was his first since April, he allowed three earned runs over five innings and gave up two homers. He did strike out eight hitters, so there was some good with it too. Overall, the Blue Jays roster is hitting .256 against him in 39 at-bats.
