It’s no secret the Dodgers have struggled mightily this season against left-handed pitching. They’re 14-14 against lefty starters, even after taking down Eduardo Rodriguez and David Price over the weekend, and the overall hitting numbers are quite poor.
This is surprising considering they were 25-19 in game started by left-handed pitchers and had a 111 wRC+ against them in 2015 — the best in the National League and third-best in baseball. This season, they have an 83 wRC+ against southpaws, thanks partly to a league-worst .270 BABIP against them, but there are some individual performers who aren’t exactly performing this season.
