The Los Angeles Dodgers are the hottest (and best) team in baseball.
On Tuesday, the two teams meet at SunTrust Park and both infielder Ozzie Albies and young right-hander Lucas Sims will be on the field for the first time in their Major League careers. In short, this is a very difficult spot for the home team.
Sims may be effective at the big-league level, especially if he can keep his strikeout-to-walk ratio in line with what he has done at Gwinnett in 2017. However, the visiting Dodgers are utterly loaded from top to bottom and they enter on an eight-game winning streak for a reason.
