Tyler Glasnow (8-6, 3.47 ERA) vs. Matt Waldron (6-9, 3.64 ERA)
Currently, Tyler Glasnow of the Dodgers has great stats, with an ERA of 3.47, WHIP 0.96 and 114 inning pitched. Glasnow brass, with 147 of them to his credit, when it comes to the impact that strikes have on his ability to get out of the game with as few hits as possible and keep the opposing team’s runners in check, he is a major part of the Dodgers pitching staff.
On the other hand, Matt Waldron, who is playing for the Padres has a lesser W-L record, but boasts of a 3.64 ERA over a span of 118.2 innings. The statistics include WHIP that range from Waldron’s 1.15 giving an impression of a rather balanced season of strikeouts and walks. It also provides the Padres with a reliable starting pitcher with this man’s performance being consistent.
When these two pitchers happened to be on the same side, the game could largely depend on them. Glasnow’s raw strength against Waldron’s consistency creates the recipe for a typical pitcher’s battle in which both will challenge batting lineups. This game may pinpoint which pitcher between the two is better adept at managing the innings when in a fix.
Dodgers’ Dominant Display
Looking at basic team characteristics of the Dodgers we see that they are a powerful team, with a .254 batting average, a slugging of .436 and 141 home runs. The team’s OPS also has a remarkable figure: this is a team that can both get on, and move people around well. This combination of potency and fine skill makes it difficult for the competing team’s pitchers to contain the attacking squad.
Padres’ Path to Power
On the flip side, the Padres have a better team batting average of .262 compared to the Dodgers and a team slugging average of .409. While they trail in the home runs with 117, the team that puts the ball into play more frequently might gain the advantage in the games that rely on small-ball tactics more than reliance on the power hitters.
