By way of a 1.046second-half OPS

Сообщение elaine95 18 дек 2018, 03:31

Game 3 is a pivotal point in the 2018 NLCS.The Los Angeles Dodgers return home with a wave of momentum following a Game 2 win at Miller Park Don Larsen Jersey , while the Milwaukee Brewers are trying to stop their opponent from running away with the series.The good news for the Brewers is they'll have top reliever Josh Hader available after two days of rest, but manager Craig Counsell needs to have more faith in his starting pitchers in order to keep Hader and the rest of the relievers fresh for the three games at Dodger Stadium.The Dodgers will once again try to mash their way to victory at the plate, and they're hoping their young phenom on the mound can create separation in the series with two more home games coming up.NLCS Game 3 TV ScheduleStart Time:7:39 p.m. ETTV:FS1Live Stream:Fox Sports appTicket Info:All available tickets for Game 3 can be found on StubHub.Odds (via OddsShark):Milwaukee (+140; Bet $100 to win $140); Los Angeles (-165; Bet $165 to win $100) Dodgers Banking On BuehlerWalker Buehler will attempt to rebound from a losing outing in his first-career postseason start Monday, as he toes the rubber for Game 3 of the NLCS.In his NLDS start against the Atlanta Braves, the 24-year-oldgave up five earned runs over five innings against a team clawing for its postseason life.Although he was defeated by the young Braves, Buehler struck out seven batters and conceded only two hits.Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated PressThose two stats combined with the numbers Buehler put up at the end of the regular season are reasons for the Dodgers to believe he'll put together a gem of a performance Monday night.In his final four regular-season outings, he gave up two earned runs over 26.2 innings, with two of those performances coming against a playoff team in the Colorado Rockies.In 16 career appearances at Dodger Stadium, 12 of which have been starts, Buehler has struck out 88 batters and recorded an ERA of 2.31.With a raucous home crowd behind him, he will be able to toss at least six strong innings on the mound before making way for the Dodgers bullpen.If Buehler is able to limit the amount of Milwaukee base runners, the Dodgers' lineup will only have to string together a few clutch hits to open up an advantage.If everything goes to plan for the Dodgers, Buehler will be followed up by a combination of Ryan Madson, Alex Wood and Kenta Maeda before Kenley Jansen slams the door shut on the Brewers for the second consecutive game. How Much Trust Does Counsell Have in Chacin?Counsell had a quick trigger to go to his bullpen in the first two games of the series http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-johnny-damon-jersey , but he needs to have a little more patience with Jhoulys Chacin in Game 3.The Milwaukee manager opted to trust his relievers in Game 1, as he pulled Gio Gonzalez after two innings.By going that route, Counsell stretched out Hader and took the left-hander out of Game 2 because he went three innings in the opener.In Game 2, he removed Wade Miley with two outs in the sixth inning with his starter at 74 pitches.If Chacin puts together a similar performance to the one Miley produced Saturday, the manager needs to show more faith in his starter, which would in turn rest parts of his heavily used bullpen.Aaron Gash/Associated PressThe ideal plan for the Brewers is for Chacin to last six innings, which would set Hader up for a manageable two-inning role to get to closer Corey Knebel.Chacin, who started his career with the Rockies, is 5-5 all-time at Dodger Stadium with a 4.96 ERA, and he has given up 34 earned runs over 61.2 innings in Los Angeles.The 30-year-old didn't fare well in his last trip to Dodger Stadium, as he conceded eight earned runs, walked four batters and struck out three hitters in 4.1 innings in a 21-5 defeat on August 2.Since that game, Chacin hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a start, including the five shutout innings he produced in Game 2 of the NLDS.If the Brewers get the Chacin they've seen since the blowout loss to the Dodgers Masahiro Tanaka Jersey , Counsell shouldn't have to make too many difficult decisions in the first five innings.However, if the Dodgers get to Chacin once again, the Brewers will be stuck in a situation that forces them to use more bullpen arms than expected at the start of a three-day stretch of contests in Los Angeles.Follow Joe on Twitter, JTansey90.Statistics obtained from Baseball Reference. The Senior Circuit doesn't have Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor or J.D. Martinez among its position players. That's helped three ace pitchers鈥擩acob deGrom, Max Scherzer and Aaron Nola鈥攎aintain a consistent presence atop the league's wins above replacement leaderboards at Baseball Reference and FanGraphs.The NL MVP voters should arguably gravitate toward one of those three pitchers. But while WAR is a helpful guideline in awards races, it hasn't and shouldn't determine who ultimately wins. That's too easy and, frankly, lazy.Indeed, the traditional measures of an MVP work fine. These aren't explicitly stated anywhere, but they generally require that an MVP be:1.A great player2. An important player on a contenderThrough the first five years of his major league career, Yelich was a great player on bad Miami Marlins teams. But with the Brewers in 2018 Miguel Andujar Jersey , he's now checking both boxes with ease.Among NL position players, the 26-year-old ranks first in WAR at FanGraphs (6.7) and second in WAR at Baseball Reference (6.6). Brewers teammate Lorenzo Cain is the only position player ahead of him for the latter, mostly because of a huge gap(19 to 1) in defensive runs saved. Their defensive difference is less hugeinultimate zone rating(7.1 to 0.2) andStatcast's outs above average(16 to 3)metric.What can be taken at face value, meanwhile, are Yelich's offensive numbers.They include NL-best marks in batting average (.321), slugging percentage (.583), OPS (.973) and OPS+ (157). Factor in his 33 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 110 runs scored and 104 runs batted in, and there isn't a more well-rounded offensive player in the National League.This is curiously good stuff for a guy who had previously peaked with an .859 OPS and 21 homers back in 2016. But it's also befitting of a natural-born hitter with low-key explosive power. To wit, Yelich hit fly balls and line drives at the same average speed (95.4 mph) between 2015 and 2017 as Yoenis Cespedes.At long last, Yelich's power has been unleashed in 2018.Some of that is due to him swapping Marlins Park for Miller Park, resulting in a career-best.627 home slugging percentage. Otherwise, it has to do with him pushing his ground-ball rate closer to the MLB average.Rather than fold under pressure http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , Yelich is only getting hotter as October approaches. He has an MLB-best 1.168 OPS and 22 homers since the All-Star break, and a 1.242 OPS and eight homers since August 29.That's the day after the Brewers found themselves in dire need of a spark upon sinking to a season-worst six games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central race. Yelich has provided it while mostly hitting in pressure spots (see his 1.13 average leverage index). In so doing, he's helped cut the Brewers' NL Central deficit to 0.5 games while also elevating them into the NL's top wild-card spot."He's doing special things," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. "This is what guys in [the MVP] conversation do."What might matter most is how all of this compares to fellow MVP candidate Javier Baez. He deserves credit for how he's carried the Cubs amid down years by Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, but he only has Yelich beat in homers (34) and RBI (110). With an .897 second-half OPS and an .850 OPS since August 29, he also hasn't dominated the stretch run like Yelich has.By way of a 1.046second-half OPS, Atlanta Braves wunderkind Ronald Acuna Jr. comes the closest to being Yelich's peer in stretch-run hitting. He nonetheless hasn't been quite as good. And like Baez, his overall numbers don't measure up to Yelich's.If the season were to end today, Yelich could offer everything that MVP voters typically look for. Because the seasonends in only a few days, it's safe to conclude he'll keep it that way.So, what the football dude said: Christian Yelich for NL MVP.
