@ RAMS FAN: A 2-1 victory for the Dodgers comes across as a pitching duel to me, but yeah, L.A. has had pitching issues early on.
The Dodgers did win the second game of the series against the Nationals, 11-2; their lineup scores a substantial number of runs more often than not. They will be a juggernaut if they can straighten out their pitching.
Jayden Daniels has been adamant about not wanting to play for Washington. Perhaps he will try to pull an Elway-type stunt to force a trade. Word is, this guy was so upset about going to the Commanders that, as a way of letting off steam, he threw another TD against Downey.
#3 Put King James on the bench and the Lakers might win a game. Clown show.
#5 There’s actually a team with worse pitching than the Dodgers.
