J.D. Martinez Looking To Stay White-Hot Wednesday
2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez will look to continue a torrid stretch Wednesday as he takes on right-hander Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves. Martinez has clubbed four homers over his last four games -- including three over his last two -- while driving in nine runs over that time. Additionally, Martinez will carry an eight-game hitting streak into Wednesday's action with at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 contests. Interestingly, he has just one multi-hit effort in all of this but is still hitting .261 with nine homers and an .881 OPS across 34 games on the season. Considering his .410 xwOBA is superior to his .366 wOBA, Martinez has indeed been mashing the baseball in his first season with the Dodgers in his age-35 campaign.
