The Dodgers need their bats in the outfield to wake up, but there are no such worries about the production they are getting from the infield. Freeman has enjoyed three-straight multi-hit games entering Wednesday, including three doubles in his last two games. So far this season, Freeman is hitting .358 with a .990 OPS against right-hand pitching. This will be the Dodgers' second time seeing Jake Irvin in a week after he threw 6.0 scoreless innings in Los Angeles on April 17. Short turn-around situations like this almost always benefit the hitter. In nine plate appearances against Irvin, Freeman is 3-for-8 with a double and a walk. Last season, 26 of the 37 extra-base hits that Irvin allowed came against left-hand batters. Freeman is swinging a hot bat right now, and this is an attractive matchup for him to take advantage of.
