Dodgers should explore making Max Muncy an everyday player, again

The Dodgers’ offense has been maddeningly inconsistent this season. One day it looks like the ‘27 Yankees, the next it looks like, well, the ‘03 Dodgers.

Setting aside the fact there have been some underachievers, their performance against left-handed pitching has been most concerning. Now, it isn’t 2016 levels of production (71 wRC+), but they do own a sub-100 wRC+ against southpaws this season (94).

One big reason is the fact Kiké Hernandez has forgotten how to hit lefties. He’s hitting just .231/.299/.396 with a 90 wRC+ against them. He had a 144 wRC+ against them last season.
