Series Preview # 4 : Dbacks @ Dodgers

Who is new? Three players on the 25-man roster joined the Dodgers after the end of last season: Logan Forsythe(second base), Sergio Romo (relief pitcher, All-Star), and Franklin Gutierrez (bench player, Gold Glove). On Monday, Gutierrez injured his left hamstring and was placed on the 10 day DL.

Which Dodgers are stars? Corey Seager, shortstop, is awesome. Starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw is amazing. Their closer Kenley Jansen shuts the door well. In summary, they have nine All-Stars on their 25-man roster, while the Diamondbacks have six All-Stars.

Their weakest area is pitching. Four of their opening-day roster’s starting-pitchers are not to be feared by Dbacks hitters: Kenta Maeda, Brandon McCarthy, Hyrun-jin Ryu, and Julio Urias.
