The Dodgers said goodbye to probable starter for the Guardians, Syndergaard, in late July. He has had mixed results for his new team, the Guardians, that make for some weak numbers. In his last 3 starts he has a 6.19 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP that have led to a 1-2 record. His time in LA wasn’t much better.

Rising star. 24-year-old Miller, is the probable starter for the Dodgers. Lately he has been on fire with a 1.15 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in his last 3 starts. On the season he has a deserved 7-2 record.

The available pitchers from the bullpen have very similar stats for both teams but at the plate there is a big gap between the squads. In the last 15 days the Dodgers are in the top 3rd of the majors for avg. and OPS while the Guardians are in the bottom 4th for both over the same time period. For the important OPS stat the Dodgers are 3rd in the majors vs. RHP over the season.

Lastly the Dodgers have a 17-2 record in August and a 15-5 record vs. teams with a losing record after the all-star break. The Guardians are 6-12 for August and have a 7-14 record vs. teams with a winning record after the all-star break. Lay the points and go with Miller and the Dodgers.
