According to Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report , the Dodgers come in at No. 2 in the ranking, trailing behind the New York Yankees . " One of the inherent benefits of the Dodgers' six-man rotation is that guys can pitch a bit deeper into games.

And en route to an MLB-best 23 quality starts, Los Angeles is the only team that has already had at least nine cases of a starting pitcher throwing at least 100 pitches. However, Shohei Ohtani has only needed 100 pitches once in his season-opening streak of six consecutive quality starts. Whether he'll pitch enough innings for an ERA title is questionable at best, but his 0.

97 ERA is ridiculously good. " Through the first 41 games of the season, the Dodgers' rotation has performed exceptionally well. It's been a strength of the team despite ongoing injury management.
