Gavin Lux Sitting Against A Lefty
5 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux is getting the day off on Friday against the hosting Detroit Tigers with a left-hander on the mound. With Lux on the bench, Chris Taylor will get the start at the keystone and will hit seventh against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Lux just hasn't been able to figure it out offensively for the Dodgers while hitting near the bottom of their stacked lineup, and he's hitting just .191 (4-for-21) with none of his three home runs on the season against southpaws. Also, in the last 14 days, he's gone 6-for-35 (.171) with a homer, three RBI and five strikeouts in 12 games. There's no reason for DFS managers to be excited about Taylor on Friday, either, as he's hitting just .157 (8-for-51) with one of his three homers against lefties in 2024.
