Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Game Score Leaderboard
Yoshinobu Yamamoto leaps into fifth place among the LAD World Series games cores with his brilliant deconstruction of the vaunted Toronto Blue Jays in Game Two of the 2025 World Series. It was the best game by a Dodger starter in a World Series since Orel Hershiser shut out the Oakland A’s in Game Two …
About that pitching depth
The famous line “You can never have enough pitching” was once again proven true for the Dodgers in 2024. The rotation appeared loaded, and along with the pitchers in AAA, and other key pieces eventually coming off the IL you didn’t think this would be a season in which Brent Honeywell would be making the …
Buehler trending toward a masterpiece
At the beginning of the postseason MLB listed the top 50 players to watch in the postseason and for some reason the ace of the team most favored to win the World Series didn’t make the cut. Evidently the list was made of players who had more successful 2020 seasons and not based on any …
Unstoppable Dodgers – Starting Pitching

Below is the list of pitchers since 2016 with at least 50 starts and an ERA+ greater than 130. Dodgers have almost a full rotation on this list even though only fifteen pitchers made the cut. Kershaw hasn’t won a CYA since 2014 but still has the highest ERA+ of anyone on the list. Ryu …
Walker set the proper pace for game one
Dave Roberts had a good game on Thursday Night, but his best call was the most important. Dave went with Walker Buehler to start game one, and Walker didn’t disappoint, hurling the Dodgers to a 6 – 0 victory. How good was Walker Buehler? Only eight pitchers have given up zero runs, one hit or …
Here we go again
The last time the Dodgers and Nationals met in the postseason was the classic 2016 NLDS when the Dodgers had to win games four and five or face elimination. They won both, but game five didn’t come easy and is probably one of the best NLDS games in Dodger history. In 2016 the Dodgers turned …
