Andrew Heaney (1.16 ERA), Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers offense is really hot & cold, and it has been like that all season long. Over the last few years, Milwaukee has had one of the worst offenses in baseball. They have power, but they don't hit for a high average, and that has continued into 2022. Th eir highest batting average among qualified hitters belongs to Andrew McCutchen, and he has the most average number there is, .250. When that is the highest BA on your team, you know you have a problem. Now they will have to contend against one of the hottest pitchers in baseball.

Andrew Heaney takes the mound for LA. In his last start, he was hit on the mound, and there were questions about whether he would be able to pitch in this game. He got away with a bruise to his pitching arm, and he's apparently been able to resume throwing without any discomfort, so he'll take the hill. He's been dominant when available, as he's produced a 1.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB across 31 innings. He just has to stay healthy.
