"The Dodgers required Pete Fairbanks to deal with nerve irritation in the series opener leading to their walk-off win, and were shutout over six innings by Janson Junk last night."
"They had the bases loaded with one out in the first inning, and runners on first and third with one out in the eighth inning, and were able to score exactly zero runs in both situations."
"Teoscar Hernández had a recent 5-for-40 stretch where he logged just one extra-base hit. He's seen his OPS fall from .918 on April 15, to .701 after last night."
"Freddie Freeman had been great and even a little unlucky to start the season, but has seen his OPS drop from .877 just a week ago to .774 amidst a 4-for-24 stretch with all four hits being singles."
The Dodgers' offense showed improvement in their last series against the Cubs but faltered against the Marlins, scoring only one run in a recent loss. Key players like Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman have experienced significant drops in their OPS. Despite Shohei Ohtani's absence, the team needs to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The upcoming matchup against Sandy Alcantara poses a challenge, as the Dodgers have struggled against pitchers they should perform better against. Consistency in scoring remains a critical issue for the team.
