"The Dodgers rode their bullpen in the 2024 postseason to a World Series championship, but despite leading MLB in bullpen IP last season, it was their starting pitchers who shouldered most of the workload in October."
"Fast forward to this season. It seems that, even with Blake Snell on the injured list and Roki Sasaki's struggles, the Dodgers' starting pitchers are doing a good job pitching deeper into games."
"They lead MLB in innings pitched by starting pitchers at 181 1/3, just ahead of the Mariners' 181. They are averaging 5.85 innings per start."
"If you remove Sasaki from the equation, the quintet of Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan, Justin Wrobleski and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are averaging 6.10 IP/GS."
The Dodgers have improved their starting pitching this season, leading MLB in innings pitched by starters with 181 1/3. This marks a shift from last season when they relied heavily on their bullpen, despite winning the World Series. The starting pitchers are averaging 5.85 innings per start, with Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani consistently reaching six innings. The performance of the starting rotation, excluding Roki Sasaki, has been strong, indicating a more balanced pitching strategy compared to the previous season.
