- Analysis
- The Dodgers are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 9 straight and they have won 12 of their last 13 games. They have been scoring a lot of runs in this span as well, scoring 10 runs in their last game and averaging over 7 runs scored per game in their last 9 straight games. They have not been allowing many runs in their recent games either as they have allowed 3 runs or less in each of their last 6 straight, and they have been averaging less than that per game in their last 13 games. They are going up against a Twins team that has not been playing well recently and has been starting to slip in the standings with all of their losses. They have lost their last 2 straight games but also, what was once a 7 game lead just over a week ago in the AL Central has now turned into no lead as they are tied for 1st with the Guardians now. They do have Sonny Gray starting in this game and he is 6-3 with a 3.19 ERA this season. He has been pitching well all season and has not allowed more than 1 run in each of his last 3 starts, but he had some bad starts in July as well where he allowed a lot of runs and the Dodgers lineup has been very hot recently. Gray has not faced the Dodgers this season and this is the worst time to be seeing them for the first time with the number of runs they have been scoring in games. The Dodgers will get to him for a lot of runs in this game like they scored in Tuesday's game and they will keep on their hot streak here. Ryan Pepiot is the starter for the Dodgers here and he is 1-0 with a 2.76 ERA this season. He is just a rookie and has only made 4 MLB starts this season but he has pitched well in all of those, allowing 1 run or less in 3 of those 4 and allowing 3 runs in the other start. The Twins are starting to cool off as they lose their lead in the division and their offense has not been as good either, scoring less runs in their recent games. The Dodgers will win this game and keep on their streak here.
