For the year, Dodgers are the #2 best scoring team with 5.22 rpg while the Padres are the worst in the league with only 3.91 ...
But not recently!
Dodgers have only scored 36 runs over their last 9 games = 4.0 rpg
Padres match that with 37 runs over their last 9 games!
MLB mean average is ~4.40

The mighty DODGERS have the second HIGHEST OBP (not OPS!) over last 30 days vs right-handed pitchers!
.365 (mean is .326 vs righties)
The #1 team OBP vs righties the last 30 days is Colorado! .375
In my capping OPS is a stat more indicitive of run-scoring production, but OBP is a stat more indicitive of skill at the plate (ruling out luck factors like wind, errors and ballparks which aid the OPS stat) There is fairly strong correlation between these two stats, but when I want to know a team or batter's SKILL level at the plate (ie, ruling out huge luck factors) I prefer the OBP stat.
And over the past 30 days, vs righties, the ROCKIES are #1 ![]()

The WORST "team pitching ERA" in the league - over the last 30 days - is Minnesota.
a whopping 5.90 ERA against them ![]()

Rockies and Athletics numbers are slightly worse but that is directly affected by the ballparks they play in. Not so at Target Field in Minnesota.

HOT STREAK WARNING! ![]()
THE MIZ, Ole' Milwaukee
This STARTER is riding a tenuous 15-game HOT STREAK, ![]()
WITHOUT a BAD outing in that streak .....YET!
...but this should be anticipated to end at anytime!!!
Make no mistake, this dude and others I will identify in the future are GOOD starters - some of them exceptional! HOWEVER, probability says "consecutive streaks won't last long" especially AFTER 7 straight w/o a "bad outing"....All GOOD pitchers will, from time to time, have an "off" day and get roughed up - sometimes mauled - before they resume their stellar pitching performances again.
Best to avoid!
CAVEAT: even if the starter has a "bad outing" doesn't guarantee his team will lose! It just seriously weakens their chances! But his team's bats could come thru with a lot of runs to save the day.....maybe! You decide.

The Pirates have managed to lose 10 of Skenes 16 starts including his last 7 consecutive

Tonight the Pirates face ABBOTT (Cinci) who has pitched extremely well recent weeks!

I won't bet this, but Hou/Det seems to have a good likelyhood for under 9
