The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding a three-game losing streak heading into Saturday afternoonâs game in St. Louis, as the offense looks to get going sooner rather than later.
The Dodgersâ pitching staff is giving the team chances to win games, keeping the score down at a reasonable level; however, the offense is not doing its part.
Los Angeles has not scored more than two runs in any of its last three games, and over the past two weeks, the Dodgersâ offense has been quite average, sitting in the middle of most metrics.
However, manager Dave Roberts believes that the team will get it right during their current road trip, and Saturday is a real chance for the hitters to get back on track.
The Dodgers' offense has been struggling, scoring no more than two runs in their last three games.
The article mentions that Sasaki is starting for the Cardinals in the upcoming game.

SP: Roki Sasaki RHP
The Dodgersâ star has not been delivering at the top of the order recently. Instead, it has been Max Muncy and Andy Pages, along with moments from Hyeseong Kim and Alex Freeland, that have put real pressure on the opposing pitchers.
In the first game of the series, Freddie Freeman was the most standout hitter as he turned the hard contact into a couple of hits. Ohtani, Smith, and Tucker did not have the same success.
Santiago Espinal got a rare start at second base on Friday, though he has struggled to get his bat going.
Alex Freeland takes over on Saturday, who has not put together a great season thus far, but he has gotten hot for a few games, which has helped spark the offense.
The Dodgers are facing a righty in Michael McGreevy, which will give Kim the start and means Miguel Rojas will be available off the bench.
The offense will be to score a handful of runs with Roki Sasaki on the mound. The Japanese pitcher has been promising for moments, but he has really struggled to put together a fully clean outing.
Ohtani and Tucker, who have a favorable matchup, along with Freeman, are the three key players who can really catch fire and will eventually do so. However, the impatience in the fanbase is growing.
Hopefully, it starts on Saturday.
