9.9: Walker Buehler vs. Kyle Hendricks 9.10: TBD vs. Shota Imanaga 9.11: TBD vs. Jordan Wicks all games 7p first pitch
Former Dodger Cody Bellinger returns to Dodger Stadium again, as a revived hitter; he's batting .263 with a .744 OPS (108 OPS+), and would be better than his +1.5 bWAR if not for his injuries this year. Still, some believe Matt Chapman, who recently extended his deal with the Giants, would have been a better fit at Wrigley Field. Chapman has a far superior WAR this season (+6.5), but the Giants aren't vying for a 2024 postseason spot, either.
It's going to be hot as Hades Monday at the Stadium, but I'll be there to cheer on the Dodgers. This is a big start for Walker Buehler tonight, given how our starting rotation is in shambles (save Jack Flaherty, who dominated the Guardians Sunday in a 4-0 victory). Crossing fingers for Buehler!

im not surprised Belli hit it out. felt like he was due.
2nd night in a row a utility infielder playing 2nd makes a costly error. smh
These days when Hudson comes in I get this familiar pit in my stomach and here it is again. All tied up 7-7.
Sorry I missed this one. Was watching on my phone and saw we took a 7-2 lead...but of course, Chris fucking Taylor helps the opponent get right back in it.
7-7 tie at the stretch.
