Perhaps the more relative question is exactly how good has the Dodgers‘ rotation been lately?
If you missed Bill Plunkett’s early-morning column in the OC Register on Saturday, he provided a very concise, but accurate, summary.
“Dodgers’ starters have a 5.67 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over the past four games while averaging less than five innings per start. The last Dodgers starter to pitch into the sixth inning was Walker Buehler on Aug. 27 (nine games ago) in San Diego.”
As far as the projected playoff starters go over that same time frame, Buehler’s ERA is 4.
