Pitching Struggles Make Outcome Uncertain, Dodgers Look to Gonsolin for Win

It is challenging to predict the outcome of this matchup, as both pitchers have struggled recently. Canning, who started the season strongly, has had a rough few outings, including a poor performance against the White Sox. Gonsolin has also had difficulties, giving up six home runs in his last three starts and having an equal number of walks and strikeouts during that time. Both teams have strong offenses that can exploit inconsistent pitching. However, Gonsolin has a favorable track record at Dodger Stadium throughout his career. It is expected that he will leverage this advantage to help the Dodgers secure a victory in this game and end their recent losing streak.
