Going into tonight, the Dodgers were 7-7 against former manager Don Mattingly, and 10-10 on the year. They capitalized on the opportunity to get both of those to above .500 with a 2-1 win.
Of all 281 MLB pitchers who’ve thrown at least 150 pitches this year, Jarlin Garcia had the biggest gap between his Expected wOBA (.361) and his actual wOBA (.182) His xwOBA of .361 actually ranks 195th of 281, and his actual of .182 ranks seventh. Eventually, he’s going to perform closer to his expected numbers but it wasn’t tonight.
