⚾ Starting Pitchers
Justin Wrobleski gets the nod for the Dodgers, bringing an 11-5 record, a 3.65 ERA, and 104 strikeouts to the mound. The left-hander has provided the hosts with a solid foundation in recent outings, and with the offense putting up at least five runs in each of the last two games, he’ll look to keep that momentum going.
Andrew Alvarez starts for Washington, carrying a 2-6 record, a respectable 3.47 ERA, and 86 strikeouts. While his ERA is solid, facing the Dodgers’ lineup is a much tougher assignment than usual-especially in the third game of the series.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Los Angeles have come out on top in all five head-to-head clashes this season and have taken the current home series with back-to-back wins. Vroblewski is enjoying a consistent campaign, while the Dodgers’ offense keeps finding ways to overcome any adversity during games. Washington held a two-run lead yesterday but still couldn’t close it out. In a tight finish, the Dodgers’ roster depth and late-inning quality once again give them a decisive edge. We’re backing a Los Angeles Dodgers win.
