Dodgers @ Red Sox July 13, 2019: World Series rematch, part 2

After a lackluster start to the series, the Dodgers are on a 4-game losing streak and looking to get back on track. Unfortunately, they’re going up against one of the game’s best in Chris Sale.

	Dodgers			Red Sox
	4:15 p.m.			Boston
LF	Taylor		RF	Betts
3B	Turner		3B	Devers
DH	Freese		SS	Bogaerts
RF	Bellinger		DH	Martinez
CF	Pollock		LF	Benintendi
1B	Muncy		1B	Vazquez
SS	Seager		2B	Holt
2B	Hernandez		C	Leon
C	Barnes		CF	Bradley
P	Stripling (R)		P	Sale (L)

Despite facing a lefty for a second consecutive game, the lineup has a different look to it. Chris Taylor is in for Alex Verdugo (who went 2-for-3 with a homer last night) and is in the leadoff spot. A.J. Pollock and Max Muncy have flip-flopped spots and Corey Seager goes from the leadoff spot to the No. 7 spot.

It’s Cody Bellinger‘s birthday, and Eric Stephen came across this interesting note:

Cody Bellinger turns 24 today. His 94 home runs are the most by a Dodger before turning 24:

Bellinger 94
Adrian Beltre 76
Duke Snider 55
Tommy Davis 53
Corey Seager 53https://t.co/LcJ55MQ4d3

Bellinger needs 6 more to top Beltre for the most HR by a Dodger before turning 25

This shows that, yeah, Bellinger is really good. It also shows just how good Adrian Beltre was and the Dodgers were foolish fools for letting him leave after the 2004 season.
