The Los Angeles Dodgers are experiencing a significant offensive slump, averaging under three runs per game in their last seven matches. They have recently scored just one run over 18 innings and face a potential series sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged that opposing teams have begun using softer pitching styles, a tactic that has disrupted the Dodgers' hitting. Pitcher Ryan Yarbrough exemplified this strategy, effectively utilizing offspeed pitches to keep the Dodgers off-balance. The team is now gearing up for a challenging series against the Padres.
