Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is often one of the more criticized people when the Dodgers are losing games. While some of the criticism may be a bit exaggerated, some questionable decisions are being made when it comes to the starting lineups. One of those is why does Max Muncy continue to sit against most left-handed starting pitchers?
This season, Max Muncy is second on the team with eight home runs off of left-handed pitching. Only Matt Kemp who has nine homers ranks ahead of Muncy on the entire Dodgers roster. Muncy’ .276 batting average against southpaws, ranks him third among everyday starters on the team behind only Manny Machado and Justin Turner.
