Fri 26 3.40p: Syndergaard vs. TBD Sat 27 1.10p: Kershaw vs. Glasnow Sun 28 8.35a: Stone vs. TBD
The Dodgers meet Tampa for the first time since dispatching them in the 2020 World Series. And though the Rays' cast of characters has changed, they are still getting it done in a highly-competitive division, with the Rays at a major-league-leading 36-15 record, which would be five games better than the Dodgers if we were division rivals.
The Dodgers are coming off a winning series in Atlanta, punctuated by an unfortunate Phil Bickford outing on Wednesday, which dropped the Dodgers below .500 (3-4) on this road trip. The Dodgers still have problems getting runs across the plate; 1-for-10 with RISP on Wednesday, 10 LOB, led by Max Muncy's 0-for-5, 3K day in the cleanup spot (Chris Taylor also had 2 Ks in a 1-for-4 day, putting his average at .191).
This trip was always going to show if we have what it takes for the playoffs, especially leaning on our offense given our starting rotation is in shambles. After dropping three of four in St. Louis, the series win in Atlanta gave me some hope. Now the Rays are poised to crush that hope in their domed field.

We were winning 1-0 early. But we are already down 2-1.
Now we are down 4-1. I forgot, it’s Syndergaard pitching.
We’ve got a threat in the third with two on and one in (4-2 TB), but Muncy GIDPs and Vargas gets the third out.
Muncy has been cold for like an entire month now
We cannot win if Noah keeps giving up runs
Miguel Rojas, who GIDPs, absolutely sucks.
Did MLB loosen the uniform policy recently? One of the Padres pitchers last week had a shiny silver belt on that was different than the rest of the team. And today for the Rays, I've seen blue, yellow, and pink belts. Old man getting off my soapbox now.
Could Noah even have ONE scoreless frame?!
Ducks on the pond but we only score one in the eighth.
7-3 TB.
We are 3-for-14 with RISP. Rays are 5-for-11 so far.
Geez it’s 9-3 TB in the eighth
Game 2: come-from-behind victory! Whoo hoo!!!
6-5 LA
That was close.
WIN
I don’t like breakfast baseball.
