As of September, the strongest team in the Major League is the Atlanta Braves.
On the 2nd, the Braves defeated the home team LA Dodgers 6-3 on Lakers Night to commemorate Kobe Bryant, widening the gap between the two teams to 6.0. The Braves are 89-45, and the Dodgers are 83-51.
The previous day, the score was 8-7, but on this day it was a one-sided win for the Braves. It wasn’t enough to be called a preview of the National League Championship Series. For the Dodgers, the question of whether to include Julio Urias in the postseason starting rotation has emerged as a concern.
Max Fried (6 wins, 1 loss, 2.52) vs. Julio Urias (11 wins, 8 losses, 4.60) The left-hander matchup was refreshing. Fried showed off his ability to be the first starter if the division series were to take place immediately. In 7 innings, he silenced the powerful Dodgers batting line with 3 hits, 2 walks, and no runs while striking out 10. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, the strongest table setters, had only 1 hit in 6 at-bats.
In comparison, Urias allowed three solo home runs to Dravis Dano (No. 10) in the second inning, Ronald Acuna Jr. (No. 31) in the third, and Marcell Osuna (No. 32) in the fourth. Allowed 9 hits and 5 runs in 5 innings. The pitch is ineligible to be a postseason starting pitcher.
The previous day, they had won the game thanks to Acuna Jr.’s grand slam after a home run battle, but on this day, they completely overwhelmed the Dodgers with two hits. In addition to the three home runs, he added two runs through concentration, including Austin Riley’s double in the fifth inning and Osuna’s timely hit, and also scored his sixth run in the eighth inning with Eddie Rosario’s timely hit to left. The Braves poured in 14 long and short hits.바카라사이트
The consolation for the Dodgers was pinch hitter Kolten Wong’s three-run home run in the eighth inning. The bench, which is currently rich in resources, has been armed with slugging power with the addition of Wong. Wong was released by the Seattle Mariners, but the Dodgers captured him as a minor league free agent and promoted him to the big league that day.
Meanwhile, on this day, the Dodgers donated $100,000 to his wife Vanessa and family in memory of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Her older daughter Natalie, who threw the first pitch to Mookie Betts, takes after her Kobe counterpart and is much taller than her mom. The Dodgers gave Bryant’s number 24 jersey as a souvenir to visitors. It was sold out, with 52,436 people attending. Before the game, players from both teams lined up and watched Kobe’s survival on the electronic screen. The Dodgers players paid tribute by wearing Kobe’s No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys.
