Matt Waldron (1-5) pitched well but still took the loss, permitting two hits and two runs over 5 1/3 innings with a pair of walks and six strikeouts.

5/05/24 Max Muncy aims to aid Dodgers in bid for sweep of Braves. Home games in May already have been more rewarding for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are in line for a three-game sweep over the Atlanta Braves when the National League powers meet on Sunday afternoon. The Dodgers' bid for a sweep of the Braves rests with left-hander James Paxton (3-0, 3.51 ERA), although the veteran draws a tough assignment opposite Los Angeles-area native Max Fried (2-0, 4.02).

4/30/24 Dodgers News: James Paxton Frustrated With Ongoing Command Issues. James Paxton continued to struggle with his command but the Los Angeles Dodgers picked him up in an 8-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. It was the third time in five starts this season that Paxton walked at least five batters. “I don't have a lot of feel for things right now,” said Paxton in a post-start refrain that has become familiar. Although he is not pitching to the best of his ability, Paxton has done his part to limit runs and keep the Dodgers in the game this season.

4/29/24 Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks odds, prediction: MLB picks, best bets for Monday. Commercial Content. 21+. Action Network is the official betting partner of the New York Post, which edits this content. Trying to fade the Dodgers' James Paxton and the Nationals' Patrick Corbin last week didn't work out so well , as both pitchers combined to give up just one run in the first five innings of an over bet of 5.5. However, the result in that game shouldn't change our stance on Paxton. On Sunday, Corbin got torched in Miami, and I'll bet Paxton has a similarly dreadful outing Monday night in Arizona as well. Let's dig into the reasons why and make a pick for the series opener between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks odds Team Moneyline Run Line Total Dodgers

4/14/24 Dodgers pitchers walk 14 in loss to Padres. Bet your bottom dollar, the Dodgers will be glad to see it after a 10-day stretch of unseasonably chilly weather at home and all-too-typical Midwest spring sogginess on the road. The start of Sunday's game was delayed 36 minutes by the latest round of rain moving through Southern California, making for a Dodger Stadium rarity – rain delays in consecutive games (Saturday's start was delayed over two hours). Starter James Paxton and the bullpen walked 14 batters in the game, fueling a 6-3 victory for the San Diego Padres. Four of the Padres' six runs were scored by runners who reached base on a walk.

4/08/24 Dodgers Vs. Twins Game Preview: Taylor Trammell Makes 1st Start. After dropping two of three to the Chicago Cubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their road trip with the opener of a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. James Paxton looks to build on a solid, but unspectacular start against the San Francisco Giants in his 2024 debut. The left-hander did not allow a run in five innings pitched, but struggled with his command as he walked five batters. “I felt good but wasn't really sharp,” Paxton said after the game. “The five walks, I was kind of in and out of rhythm, but Will (Smith) did a great job back there. I made pitches when we had to.” Paxton was built up to go six innings and throw 90 pitches, but the walks made that challenging.

The series finale features James Paxton making his second start of Spring Training. The veteran left-hander didn't travel with the Dodgers for the Seoul Series, instead staying in Arizona. Although there isn't a specific injury designation for Paxton, the Dodgers are likely to ease Paxton into the mix. His upside lies in where he was in 2023 prior to some injuries,
