Pittsburgh Pirates vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers got their act together yesterday and should be excited about this matchup. Falter hasn’t been good this season, and that includes allowing 17 hits and 13 earned runs in his last 20 innings. In 55 at-bats against current Dodgers, Falter is allowing a .309 batting average, .356 on-base percentage, and four homers. Glasnow hasn’t quite found his CY Young ability through four starts, but he’s allowed six hits and two runs in his last 10 innings. If this is a sign of things to come, the Dodgers should be excited. I have to roll with the Dodgers, and of course, I’ll take the RL to shave down the ridiculous price.
