His accuracy and ability to avoid bases on balls with just seven this season make him a key player in today’s match. Woo has the gift of finishing games that matter most and keeping runs low; such traits will be important for suppressing a formidable Dodgers lineup.
On the flip side, Gavin Stone is more experienced but less strong with an ERA of 3.63 and WHIP of 1.28 over 121.1 innings pitched for Dodgers aggregate since last year. This is despite woo giving away more hits as well as home runs than stone meaning that it may be beneficial to have more experience in high pressure games by stone .
