The Los Angeles Dodgers seemed to have pulled out of their recent tailspin, winning their past six games and, in doing so, tying their longest win streak of the season.
Of course, plenty of Dodgers have contributed to the wins, but three in particular stood out.
Check out Dodgers Nation’s finalists below and let us know in the comments who you think it should be!
Max Muncy
Third baseman Max Muncy has had himself a week.
He racked up seven hits in the two series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies, including a three-hit game on Saturday.
Two of those hits were home runs, and he finished the week with a .389 average and 1.312 OPS.
In that span, he’s also accumulated seven RBIs.
Tarik Skubal
The newest Dodgers star had his first big game in Dodger blue on Saturday, picking up his first win since the trade just ahead of the deadline.
Tarik Skubal went seven innings and struck out 11 against five hits, one walk and three earned runs.
Those runs all came in the first inning, and Skubal was lights out after that, showing the potential that had so many Dodgers fans excited to see him play for LA.
Shohei Ohtani
To no one’s surprise, Shohei Ohtani also had a stellar week.
He had one fewer hit than Muncy with six knocks, but three of those were homers.
He racked up five RBIs while hitting .261 this week, and his OPS was 1.066.
So who’s the winner?
On social media, many of you shouted out Muncy by a litany of nicknames: Funky Muncy, Mad Max, Maximus Meridius Muncy.
One Instagram user, @zhischar1995, shouted out Skubal for making the adjustment he’s made coming to LA.
“Normally I’d give it to Max or Shohei, but I mean, that game pitched — minus the first — was pretty f—ing awesome for Skubs as he’s on a new team getting his footing,” he wrote.
Others had suggestions of their own, players like Tanner Scott, Kyle Tucker and Blake Snell.
