Dodgers by the numbers

Today I am starting a new feature on Inside Dodger Baseball, "Dodgers by the numbers."  Basically, I will take a look at a bunch of different stats from either the team or individual players.  Let's go...

Record: 5-3

Hitting
Batting Right: 31-159 (.195), 3 HR, 11 RBI, 38 K, 2nd to last in baseball
Considering two of the coldest players on the team are Matt Kemp (5-30, .167) and Luis Cruz (2-22, .091), it's no surprise this stat is so low.  Justin Sellers's 4-21 (.190) isn't helping things either.

Batting Left: 34-94 (.362), 3 HR, 10 RBI, 20 K, 2nd place
Carl Crawford (13-28, .464) is red hot, Adrian Gonzalez (11-28, .393) is right behind, and Andre Ethier (8-25, .320) has hit in seven straight.  Long live the lefties.

Batting Third: See Kemp's stats, 3rd to last

Batting First: 13-32 (.406), 1st place
Carl Crawford has started nearly every game, and his production is the best from the leadoff spot.  Talk about the early leader for NL Comeback Player of the Year

Scoring Position: 11-71 (.155), 0 HR, 12 RBI, 23 K, 5th to last
I'm surprised there's teams that are actually worse, to be perfectly honest.  There's been some really bad AB's in these situations.

Scoring Positions w/ 2 outs: 5-33 (.152), 1 HR, 5 RBI, 10 K, 2nd to last
Just to add further insult.  It's been ugly.

Pitching
Starters: 5-2, 1.73 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 52 IP, 8 BB, 44 K, 1st place
When Clayton Kershaw is on your team, there's a good chance your team will rank towards the top.  But Greinke and Billingsley have had strong starts, and Ryu has chipped in as well.  Now they just need Beckett to settle in.

Relievers: 0-1, 3.31 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 19 IP, 10 BB, 17 K, 12th place
These numbers took a hit the last couple of games in San Diego, as they were flawless before then.

2 Outs: 3.22 ERA, 1.25, 5th place
This reflects a good ability to get out of innings.

Scoring Position: 9.90 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 7th place
Keep in mind that the lowest ERA is the Braves at 5.40, so this isn't as bad as it looks.  ERA's should be high with runners in scoring position.

Behind in Count: 2.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 1st place
Maybe they should always fall behind, considering they rank 12th when they're ahead.
