has been among the best pitchers in baseball this year. The 28-year-old right-hander put up a 16-1 record with a 2.14 ERA, along with a stellar 0.875 WHIP. Gonsolin’s numbers could have been even more impressive had he not missed about six weeks with a right forearm strain.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has given some clues. While he acknowledged that fellow starter Dustin May is limited to four innings or 60 pitches, he told reporters that Gonsolin has built up to “upwards of 75 pitches.” Presuming that’s true, that suggests Los Angeles wants to get four or five innings out of Gonsolin in Game 3, with the potential for slightly more if he‘s efficient.
As a reminder, Gonsolin just struck out three batters in a two-inning stint against the Rockies. That’s very telling, as Colorado and San Diego profile very similarly when it comes to strikeout numbers. The Rockies struck out 8.21 times per game in the regular season, with the Padres posting only slightly more strikeouts.
