Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers will be starting Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Sunday, who has a 10-8 record and a 2.90 ERA in 24 starts this season. Despite his strong performance, Yamamoto has faced challenges with inconsistent run support, leading to tough losses in his last two starts. The Dodgers offense, led by players like Shohei Ohtani, Andy Pages, Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernández, and Freddie Freeman, remains potent but the team has struggled recently with a 5-7 record over their last 12 games. The bullpen has also been a concern, ranking 21st in MLB with a 4.19 ERA, with closer Tanner Scott leading the team in saves but also having blown seven opportunities and holding a 4.14 ERA.
