Expectations were high for the Los Angeles Dodgers entering a road trip to face the Colorado Rockies, but the team split a four-game series at Coors Field after multiple misplays from Teoscar Hernández in right field. The Dodgers enter a series in San Diego trailing the Padres by one game in the NL West with a 73-55 record and a +93 run differential. The Padres sit at 72-56 with a +58 run differential and have won six of their last ten. Starting matchups include Blake Snell vs. Yu Darvish, Tyler Glasnow vs. Nestor Cortes, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Nick Pivetta. The Dodgers expect bullpen reinforcements during the series.
The Dodgers were coming off a sweep of the San Diego Padres, and were facing a Rockies team with just 35 wins on the season, the worst record in the National League by roughly 15 games. But the Dodgers only ended up splitting the four games at Coors Field. The series opener was a particularly disappointing loss as it included multiple misplays from Teoscar Hernández in right field.
It is what it is. Yeah, it is. But it's where we're at right now and I can't change it. But I feel good about our club going into San Diego. We've got to go out there and play good baseball.
