The next series numbers on tap for the Los Angeles Dodgers going against the Tampa Bay Rays are very much in their favor, that much more considering in his last pair of outings and season averages. Dodgers' starting pitcher Gavin Stone has been very improved, coming off back-to-back quality starts in which he gave up just one earned run in 12 innings. This resurgence is vital as the Dodgers will now face an extremely, extraordinarily weak Tampa Bay offense that has been able to post the very low end of all in Major League Baseball for on-base percentage, batting average, slugging percentage, and runs scored.
One striking difference between these two teams is the offensive capabilities that these teams bring to the table. The Dodgers feature in the top four in the MLB on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and they are ranked number four in runs scored, thus indicating their ability to score. Tampa Bay's lineup has ranked among the least productive in the league, which should allow Stone to continue his roll on the bump.
The low 7.4% strikeout rate and relatively high 18.5% walk rate of Lopez will undoubtedly raise problem flags against a Dodgers lineup that is good at drawing walks and creating baserunners.
Further, overall the Dodgers' pitching staff was great, coming in 3rd in batting average against, 4th in WHIP, and 6th in ERA. This militancy should suffocate an unconvincing Rays offense for most of the season. Apart from their recent home record, the Dodgers have the mental edge over Tampa Bay.
Checking in on the advanced metrics, Jacob Lopez holds a fine .317 xwOBA for Tampa Bay, has an impressive 22.2% hard-hit rate—stats that could possibly have an underlying potential in seeing the Dodgers' offense limited. That said, Stone could negate some of the advantages Tampa Bay would hold on the mound with the improvement in strikeout rate (up to 19.7%) and ability to keep the ball on the ground. For reference, his launch angle sits at a low 11.5°.
