Shohei Ohtani is dazzling on the mound, but not so much at the plate

We are now over a month into the first season of what Shohei Ohtani can do on both sides of the field throughout the whole year as a Dodger. Ohtani is seemingly back to his pre-injury, Cy Young award contending form on the mound, as he’s coming off a dominant month of April where he […]

Shohei Ohtani’s longest Dodgers pitching start wasted in loss to Astros

Shohei Ohtani pitched his deepest into a game in three seasons, but got very little offensive support in the Dodgers’ 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Tuesday night at Daikin Park.

Which Dodgers reliever is headed back to Triple-A?

Dodgers offense faces a vulnerable Astros bullpen

The Dodgers managed to avoid a sweep against the Cardinals with a win on Sunday, facing a familiar face in Dustin May, but overall, the offense won’t have fond memories of their time in St. Louis, averaging 2.33 runs a game. For the second week in a row, Yoshinobu Yamamoto will face a favorable matchup […]

Who will hit the Dodgers’ next home run?

More zeroes for Justin Wrobleski, Dodgers snap losing streak

The Dodgers didn’t hit a home run on Sunday, but didn’t need to.

That snapped a four-game losing streak for the […]
