Will home cookin' cure the Dodgers power outage???

Las Vegas - Desperation? Kinda. The Dodgers are down 0-2 to the Brewers and they have a humongous POWER OUTAGE. It starts with the greatest player I have seen in the last 70+ years, Shohei Ohtani. There is obviously something wrong with Ohtani because after six playoff games, he has only three hits in 20 at bats (.150). Will Smith, the talented catcher is in the worst slump on the team, with just one hit in the last 23 at bats (.083). Mookie is batting only .238, Freddie Freeman is at .227, Teoscar Hernandez is at .217 and Max Mucky is at .211. YIKES! So they have to rely on the very talented arms. The left arm of Blake Snell gets the game three nod and we're a little bit concerned that he has thrown a total of just four innings over the last 18 days. And the last time out, against the Braves, he looked just ordinary, going 3 2/3 innings, allowing three hits and five walks. Then we took a look at Milwaukee starter Robert Gasser and his numbers didn't thrill me. Gasser was 5-5 this season with a 3.87 ERA and did not do well against the Dodgers in two regular season starts. He lost both, one at home and one on the word, allowing 12 hits and seven earned runs in just 11 innings. Thinking Dodgers tonight as they take advantage of home cooking, but would stay very, very, very light.
