Hey everyone, so today I’ve been digging into the stats from the Dodgers vs. Braves game. It was a wild ride, and I just had to share what I found.
First off, I started by looking up the basic info about the game. I found out it was held on September 16th. I was curious about how these two teams usually stack up against each other, so I did some more searching.
Turns out, the Braves and Dodgers have quite a history! The Braves have faced off against the Dodgers a lot – like, over 2,000 times. Can you believe that? The Braves have won 1043 times, and the Dodgers have won 1210 times. That’s a lot of baseball!
Then, I got into the details of this specific game. It seems like the Dodgers really brought their A-game because they won 9-2. It was a pretty comfortable win for them. I even read that someone named Brusdar Graterol came in to close the game for the Dodgers. Sounds like he did a great job!
Player Performance
After that, I went deeper into the performance of players. Here is what I did:
- Checked Individual Stats: I looked up some top players from both teams and how they’ve been doing this season. I was wondering who’s leading the Dodgers in on-base percentage (OBP) this year. Also, I noticed that one of the Dodgers players, whose name is Freddie Freeman, used to play for the Braves. I read a fun fact that the Dodgers signed him for a huge contract, something like $162 million for six years. Wow!
- Compared Team Stats: I also compared how the teams have performed overall. For instance, I looked at their win-loss records, not just in this game but in general. And found out about their rivalries.
- Looked for fun facts: What was the best record in a season for the Dodgers? What’s the record for triples in a season in the live ball era? So much fun to explore!
So, that’s what I’ve been up to today. It’s been fun diving into all this data and learning more about these teams and their players. It really gives you a new perspective on the game when you look at the numbers behind it. Hope you guys found this interesting too!
