Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Friday, August 30, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at Chase Field
Clayton Kershaw’s Figuring It Out
Dodgers veteran lefty Clayton Kershaw has only earned 16.7% of strikeouts over the last month, yet he’s located very well.
Kershaw has walked only 4.6% of batters over the last 30 days and has allowed a .082 ISO and wOBA of .298 to his previous 108 batters.
He’s also earned 44.4% of ground balls and has allowed just 17.3% of fly balls.
That won’t help the Diamondbacks, who are already hitting a low .127 ISO and wOBA of .292 against lefties over the last month.
Gallen Can Hold It Down, Too
Zac Gallen has held his last 123 batters to a .099 ISO and wOBA of .318. He’s induced a high rate of grounders and isn’t allowing much contact in the air.
In addition, his strikeout rate is just 20.3% over the last month, but it has a chance to get higher against a Dodgers lineup with six batters who have struck out at least 23.8% of the time.
Los Angeles is hit or miss with its power, but if Kershaw holds it down, it’s unlikely Gallen will give up all the runs to lose the Under.
