Analyzing Recent Performances


The Dodgers have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few games, displaying both resilience and areas for improvement.

Their hitting statistics reveal an average batting performance with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .341 and slugging percentage (SLG) of .371. However, it's worth noting that their bullpen struggled slightly, posting an earned run average (ERA) over 5.


In contrast, during another recent game against the Mariners, the Dodgers demonstrated stronger offensive capabilities with 11 hits leading to 6 runs. This performance was backed by solid pitching that maintained a more commendable ERA closer to 4. The team's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities was evident as they managed to convert hits into runs efficiently.
