The Dodgers are going for a 3-game sweep of the Marlins this afternoon behind Walker Buehler. He faces off against the Marlins’ best pitcher (player?) in Caleb Smith.
Buehler will look to replicate (or best) what Clayton Kershaw did last night against the Marlins’ lineup. It was his best outing of the season by GameScore, and it isn’t a coincidence that it came in a game in which he got a season-high 17 swinging strikes.
Buehler is coming off six scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks that resulted in a no-decision.
