Los Angeles Form & Recent Results

Los Angeles heads into this matchup with a little momentum on its side, coming off a win and having taken three of its last five games before Friday. A big part of that recent success came in Cincinnati, where the Dodgers picked up three victories against the Reds. Their latest win was an 8-2 road victory on Thursday, and Kyle Tucker played a huge role in leading the offense. The right fielder had an outstanding day at the plate, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, a single, a home run, two runs scored, and three runs batted in. On the mound, Landon Knack gave Los Angeles a solid start, throwing four scoreless innings while allowing just four hits. He did not issue a walk and added two strikeouts in the outing. As a team, the Dodgers put together a strong all-around performance, finishing with 12 hits, two home runs, and 21 total bases. Their pitching staff also handled business, striking out eight Reds hitters while giving up seven hits and not allowing a single walk.

This year, Los Angeles has continued to get major production from some of its biggest names. Shohei Ohtani has been the Dodgers’ top power threat, leading the team with 30 home runs, while Max Muncy sits right behind him as the club’s second-leading home run hitter with 28 on the year. Ohtani has also been the team’s most productive run producer, leading Los Angeles with 80 RBIs so far this season. Freddie Freeman has been the Dodgers’ most consistent hitter in terms of batting average, leading the team with a .295 mark. Over their last five games, Los Angeles has averaged 5.5 runs per contest, showing that the lineup has been finding ways to consistently produce. That offensive rhythm helped the Dodgers take care of business down the stretch, and they officially clinched the NL West on Thursday, adding another major accomplishment to what has already been a strong regular season.
