Yimi Garcia joins the fizzy beer score table, and his three scoreless appearences in the past week place him above other bullpen recent additions Carlos Frias and Pedro Baez.
The Dodgers must be saving Brian Wilson’s robot arm for the postseason. His only appearance in the past week was a 1-2-3 8th inning with an eight-run lead in Colorado. Baseball Reference gave it a .07 “Average Leverage Index,” meaning it was an incredibly low-pressure/super chill situation.
The table below uses Fangraphs leaderboard data and was built with CSV to table by Marcos. Blue in the table below means a positive change, red means that pitcher’s metric went in the wrong direction over the past week.
