Dodgers: Dodgers Slowly Quieting the LHP Narrative
Entering the 2017 season, the Dodgers’ big elephant in the room was the inability to hit left-handed pitching. The only thing more annoying than hearing the national sports media loathe over the Cubs was hearing them talk about this problem.
Despite an 8-8 overall record in games started by a left-handed starting pitcher, the Dodgers have begun to right the ship lately. In their last eight games versus lefty pitchers, Los Angeles is 6-2. Depending on how you want to look at it, you can also say LA has won five of their last six games against a southpaw starter, including a four-game winning streak before dropping a game against Ty Blach and the San Francisco Giants.
