There’s been so much focus on the Dodger hitting in this season’s first week, I thought I’d pass along a wee pitching note: Los Angeles is averaging 10.7 strikeouts per nine innings as a team through three games.

Paco Rodriguez leads the Dodgers with a sleek 27.0 K/9. Brandon McCarthy (16.2) is tops among the guys with more than one inning under their belts.

It’s not quite 700K, like the Dodgers’ Instagram following, but it’s a nice start.
