Pitching and Hitting

 OK we are going to look at the week of August 3rd to August 10th.  Over those 7 games The Dodgers only hit .189.  The looked like they were not there to play baseball at all.  They looked like they were there for the free sunflower seeds.  Wait!  During this whole Covid deal they are not allowed to have sunflower seeds.  We might be onto something.  

Anyway

Of the 42 hits they managed, 12 of them were Home Runs so they still averaged 4.9 runs a game over that stretch.  They struck out and average of 6.7 times a game and that is well below the league average.  That's just always a good sign.

During those seven games the starting pitchers had an ERA of 4.48.  The bullpen has an ERA of 2.13.  A pedestrian result from the starters and a strong result from the relievers.

Somehow they went 4-3 over those seven days.

Things only got better from there
