Lance Lynn is expected to play a role as well. Lynn has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-lance-lynn-tweaking-mechanics-ahead-mlb-playoffs" rel="noopener">dealt with ups and downs</a> since being traded from the Chicago White Sox to the Dodgers prior to the deadline. So can Lynn positively impact the Dodgers’ rotation during the postseason?</p><p>The Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Lynn started the game and pitched well, surrendering just two earned runs across six innings of work. He struck out six hitters as well, but did walk three.</p><p>Lynn’s primary problem in 2023 has been the home run ball. He relies on his fastball often, which creates a different approach. Hitters are used to seeing a heavy dosage of breaking balls to offset the heater from other pitchers. If a batter catches up to Lynn’s fastball however, since they are likely sitting on it, home runs become an issue. In fact, Lynn has given up an <a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lynnla01.shtml" rel="noopener">unsightly 43 home runs</a> between the Dodgers and White Sox this season, per Baseball Reference.</p><p>Again, this begs the question of whether or not Lynn can be effective in the MLB playoffs?</p><h2><b>Dodgers: Why Lance Lynn <i>will </i></b>be effective in 2023 MLB playoffs</h2><p>Lynn posted a 6.47 ERA with Chicago prior to the trade. He’s recorded an improved, albeit far from ideal, 4.50 ERA in Los Angeles.</p><p>One thing that separates Lynn from other pitchers in today’s game is that he’s a workhorse. Many pitchers deal with strict pitch count restrictions. In fact, Seattle Mariners pitcher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-george-kirby-drops-shocking-admission-after-seattle-loss" rel="noopener">George Kirby previously complained</a> about not being removed from a game after 90 pitches. Lynn brings a completely different mindset to the mound.</p><p>Having a pitcher who can give you innings in the postseason is key. The Dodgers still won’t hesitate to remove Lynn from a game if he struggles at all. That said, if Kershaw or Miller are unable to work deep into either of their starts, Lynn can help save the bullpen by providing innings.</p><p>Now, you obviously want quality over quantity. Lynn is capable of keeping the Dodgers in games. He’s going to give up some homers, so limiting walks and keeping runners off base will be crucial. As long as Lynn isn’t consistently surrendering three-run long balls or grand slams, he should be fine. Solo homers won’t kill a pitcher.</p><p>If Lance Lynn steps up and performs well in the MLB playoffs, the Dodgers’ chances of reaching the World Series will drastically improve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As usual, confidence is high at the end of the regular season. However, there are glaring concerns in the starting pitching rotation that could lead to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-la-more-pressure-2023-world-series-braves-mlb-player" rel="noopener">another disappointing October</a> for fans.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-la-moving-on-julio-urias-locker-removal-dave-roberts" rel="noopener">Julio Urias situation</a>, while obviously far more important than baseball, forces the Dodgers to apply a next-man-up approach to their starting staff. Right-hander Lance Lynn will be one of the arms Dave Roberts heavily relies on this postseason. Despite a spotty track record (5.28 ERA in 27 playoff appearances) and his recent struggles, the veteran has proven himself capable of stifling opposing batters.</p><p>But some <a href="https://twitter.com/bylucaevans/status/1704010373861683495" rel="noopener">mechanical adjustments</a> might be necessary for him and the club to consistently get those desired results. “To be honest with you, it’s something we’ve been talking about since I got traded over,” Lynn told Luca Evans of the Orange County Register. “There’s been some mechanical changes, there’s been some grip changes and trying to get back to what I was good at early on in my career. And I’m starting to see signs of it.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Asked Dodgers starter Lance Lynn about mechanical changes he’s been trying to tweak over the past couple starts.

All of the goodwill Lynn built up in his first six starts with the team quickly dissipated, though, after allowing 15 runs combined to the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins. Those are two squads he might have to face in the playoffs.</p><p>Fortunately, Lance Lynn, just as he said, is starting to figure things out once more (won his last two decisions). If he can sustain this level, then the Dodgers should feel confident enough to trust the 36-year-old behind the beloved Clayton Kershaw. But he better work out the rest of the kinks quick.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the end, despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rumor-dodgers-made-blockbuster-trade-attempt-for-max-scherzer" rel="noopener">reportedly showing interest</a> in the likes of Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, the Dodgers settled for Lance Lynn, the veteran starter who had struggled to that point for the Chicago White Sox.</p><p>Lynn’s surface-level numbers with the White Sox were as uninspiring as it’s gonna get. He had an eye-poppingly huge earned run average, and he allowed a ton of home runs — not exactly a recipe for success especially for a team with World Series hopes such as the Dodgers. And on Wednesday night, Lynn <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-lance-lynn-reaches-low-since-2019-after-getting-shelled-vs-marlins" rel="noopener">fell prey</a> to his usual struggles once more.</p><p>In an 11-4 loss to the Miami Marlins, Lance Lynn allowed three home runs in the span of seven batters in what was a disastrous fifth inning. He coughed up eight earned runs in total, a total collapse relative to his performances for the Dodgers in recent memory. Nevertheless, at this point, Lynn seems to be in a <a href="https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1699624985881391353" rel="noopener">forced state of acceptance</a> when it comes to his struggles with allowing the long ball.</p><p>“I mean, once you go over 30, who gives a s**t?” Lynn said, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.</p><p>Of course, when people say they don’t give a crap about something, it’s when they usually do. Allowing dinger after dinger must be rough for Lance Lynn in what has been a struggle of a 2023 season to this point. With the Dodgers, it seemed like Lynn had already turned a corner, so for him to see his struggles come back to haunt him must be tough to stomach.</p><p>The Dodgers don’t expect elite-level pitching from Lynn; they only need him to eat some innings to protect a vulnerable pitching staff. But Lynn holds himself to a <a href="https://theathletic.com/4840640/2023/09/06/dodgers-lance-lynn-home-runs/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">very high standard</a> and expects much better results from himself moving forward.</p><p>“Just an absolute disaster. I blew up. Can’t happen. Got to be better. I know that.

He had made an MLB All-Star team with the Chicago White Sox. Additionally, Lynn got three straight Cy Young award nods as he finished in the top six all the way to the 2021 season. But, things are looking to take a bitter turn for him after his knee injury. He was starting to look quite the same with the Mookie Betts-led squad. But, the Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Seattle Mariners proved otherwise as he beat out Mike Leake in an undesirable statistic.</p><p>Pitchers often have bad games but some career lowlights are lower than others. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-lance-lynn-dave-roberts-los-angeles" rel="noopener">Lance Lynn is experiencing</a> this unfortunate turn of events against the Mariners. He <a href="https://twitter.com/ericstephen/status/1699575725056254044" rel="noopener">became the first</a> MLB pitcher to have allowed 40 home runs in a season since Mike Leake in 2019 during their game against Seattle, per Eric Stephen of SB Nation.</p><p>In his last three starts, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-lance-lynn-los-angeles-white-sox-trade-saved-season" rel="noopener">the Dodgers pitcher faced</a> 75 batters. He only had three strikeouts. But, he allowed eight home runs and 17 runs. All of this happened in a span of 17 quick innings as well. It has not been a good look after his disaster of an MLB season. But, he has redeemed it with a terrific winning streak.</p><p>Before the deadline, he notched a 6.47 ERA in 119 and 2/3 innings. His value quickly dipped as he was only acquired for the price of five minor league players. A lot is riding on Lance Lynn to step up his game after this performance. While the Mookie Betts-led squad sits atop the NL West, there will be huge questions regarding his consistent performance as they hunt for a World Series victory.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s not something that many would’ve predicted when the Chicago White Sox <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-why-la-right-trade-lance-lynn-white-sox" rel="noopener">agreed to trade Lance Lynn</a> and Joe Kelly to the Dodgers in a five-player deal. Whether or not it was expected, Dave Roberts and Los Angeles are grateful for how things have turned out.</p><p>Lynn was one of the worst pitchers for the 2023 season during his time with the White Sox. The 36-year-old had a 6-9 record with a ghastly 6.47 ERA. In four starts with the Dodgers, Lynn has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-lance-lynn-los-angeles-white-sox-trade-saved-season" rel="noopener">a completely different pitcher</a>. The veteran has gone 3-0 in four starts, pitching to a minuscule 1.44 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP.</p><p>A change of scenery<a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/lance-lynns-turnaround-has-revitalized-dodgers-pitching-staff-its-what-we-needed"> appears to have been</a> exactly what Lynn needed. The veteran was stuck on a White Sox team that was out of contention early in the 2023 season.</p><p>“When you get a chance to kind of have a regroup and have a chance to win when you didn’t do what you expected to do most of the year, you give yourself a second chance in the season and you try to make the best of it,” Lynn told FOX Sports. “So far, it’s been good.”</p><p>Lynn and Los Angeles have proven to be a perfect fit. Lynn had to get out of Chicago to save his season, and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-dave-roberts-win-streak">Dodgers required pitching help</a> in the worst way. Los Angeles’ staff underachieved for the better part of four months. The rotation had a 6.18 July.</p><p>Lynn has been one part of the Dodgers’ turnaround. Los Angeles’ staff has been dominant in August, sparking a long winning streak that’s allowed the Dodgers to essentially put away the NL West title before September begins.</p><p>“It’s what we needed,” Roberts said.</p><p>Lynn is set to start against the Boston Red Sox Friday. The Dodgers are 12 games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks for first place in the division.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
