The LA Dodgers vs. Boston Red Sox series begins Friday July 25 with LA owning a 60-43 record but playing under .500 baseball of late while Boston is 55-49 and winning 60% of their last ten. The Dodgers have owned this series recently, going 7-1 but that record could be a bit deceptive as LA was stellar last season while Boston was not. This record dates back to 2019.

LA Dodgers
Four Dodgers relievers who were far from expected to pitch high leverage when the season began -- Ben Casparius, Alexis Diaz, Will Klein and Edgardo Henriquez -- allowed six runs in a span of two innings against the Twins on Tuesday night, turning a tight game into a rout. The Dodgers eventually lost for the 11th time in a stretch of 14 games, by which point their bullpen ranked 24th in the majors in ERA, WHIP and opponents' OPS. They have been playing all-around bad baseball of late -- offensively, defensively, on the mound -- but the bullpen is the focus with the trade deadline approaching.
Boston Red Sox
Walker Buehler's 5.72 ERA is the sixth highest in the majors among the 105 pitchers with at least 80 innings thrown this season, and his strikeout-to-walk rate ranks 95th. He has the fourth-highest home run rate. It's been a frustrating year for the right-hander. But Buehler posted one of his best starts of the season Monday when he held the Phillies to two runs (one earned) across seven innings. It's still not quite the high-octane vintage Buehler -- his fastball is average 94 mph, nearly three mph slower than his peak years in Los Angeles, in his first full season after his second Tommy John surgery -- but his getting on track could make a substantial impact on Boston's postseason hopes.
