A healthy temperature for a reason. Holding teams to 2.4 runs a game. That's the foundation right now. But just 2.7 runs per game this stretch. Not enough.

Dodgers News

The Los Angeles Dodgers' rollercoaster season took another dip as they fell 2-1 to the Detroit Tigers, marking their fourth loss in five games and continuing a frustrating trend in one-run games. Blake Snell delivered a solid six-inning performance, allowing just one run, but the offense once again failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, with key players like Max Muncy struggling to find their rhythm. Muncy, who is eyeing a Silver Slugger award, faces mounting pressure as the lineup remains quiet, averaging only 3.3 runs per game over the past week. To make matters worse, Shohei Ohtani is sidelined again, dealing with knee discomfort that has sidelined him since July. The Dodgers sit at 81-54 and need to find a way to break this streak of near-misses as they head into another matchup against Detroit.
