How Motivated are Dodgers?

Julio Urias is getting the task of beating the Padres here but the question is how motivated will these Dodgers be? They have a four-game lead on the Houston Astros for the best record in baseball with a week to go.

They’ve been resting starters recently and, as a result of these factors, are just 6-4 in their last 10.

Urias is tied for the second-best record in the league at 17-7 with the third-best ERA at 2.25. Not to mention that he has the fifth-best WHIP at 0.95 as well. He’s been a good option against the MLB odds.

He’s helped them win five straight games in which he’s appeared and 16 out of the last 17. Los Angeles knows that it is in good hands with Urias on the mound.

Padres Going with Musgrove

Los Angeles Dodgers have won 12 of 17 meetings between the teams but variables are quickly changing. Los Angeles is batting just .226 in its last 10 as their motivation has faded.

As for the San Diego Padres, they need to keep winning to get into the playoffs and they’re hot right now. They’ve won eight of 10 and have a sparkling 2.27-team ERA in that span.

San Diego will be relying upon Joe Musgrove on the mound to help them and he’s 10-7 with a 3.12 ERA.

Unfortunately, his last game against the Dodgers didn’t go so well. He pitched 5.1 innings and allowed six hits and four runs during an 11-2 defeat that night.
