Jose Berrios of the Toronto Blue Jays has been an impressive pitcher this year, sporting an 8-7 record with an ERA of 3.39 and striking out 114 batters over 119.1 innings pitched to keep opponents’ offense at bay. Unfortunately for them, though, Berrios hasn’t had great luck against Los Angeles Dodgers; if he can maintain his composure and capitalize on his strengths more effectively against them, it may give them a fighting chance to compete effectively with them and their potent lineup.
