Los Angeles vs San Diego Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers

Currently, it is uncertain who will be starting for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night due to multiple starters being on the injured list. The team may consider a bullpen day or potentially call up Emmet Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City to provide much-needed pitching depth. Sheehan, a 25-year-old right-hander, has a 4-1 record with a 4.92 ERA in Triple-A this season. Despite starting the season strong with a record of 23-10, the Dodgers have faced challenges recently, dealing with injuries to key players. They rank second in the league in runs scored but 22nd in runs allowed. In their most recent games, the Dodgers have shown mixed performance, scoring 24 runs while their bullpen has maintained a 3.33 ERA. As of now, Los Angeles holds a 40-27 record and is ranked 10th in power rankings.

San Diego Padres Analysis

The San Diego Padres have been on a winning streak since May 22 when they were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays. They have won series against the Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Milwaukee Brewers, while splitting a series with the San Francisco Giants. They recently outscored the Brewers 6-4 in a three-game set. The Padres are ranked 22nd in runs scored and ninth in runs allowed in the MLB. Dylan Cease is expected to pitch on Tuesday night with a record of 1-5 and a 4.72 ERA this season. Despite a rough outing against the Dodgers in the past, he has shown success in previous regular-season starts against them. Overall, the Padres have a power ranking of 28 and a record of 37-28. Los Angeles has lost their last three matchups against San Diego.

Dodgers' Strong Track Record Against Dylan Cease Gives Them an Edge Against Padres

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a strong track record against Dylan Cease, with a 32-for-112 hitting record including nine walks, nine doubles, and five home runs. Shohei Ohtani has also found success against Cease, boasting a 6-for-19 record with a double and three home runs. Despite the possibility of a bullpen day, the Dodgers are favored due to their superior offense compared to the San Diego Padres. The Padres struggled offensively last week, scoring just 17 runs with a slash line of .225/.284/.296 over seven games. Cease's performance will be crucial in determining the outcome of the game. However, based on past encounters where the Dodgers dominated Cease, there are doubts surrounding his ability to shut down their potent lineup. Cease's statistical rankings further support the Dodgers' potential to excel against him.
