The Los Angeles Dodgers have been a solid team this year, but they are far from the unstoppable juggernaut that everyone thought would run away with the division again. They could get back to those lofty heights now that Cody Bellinger is back in the lineup and ready to do some major damage.
Bellinger did regress from the MVP form he showed in 2019, and he only tallied four hits in 23 at-bats this season before landing on the IL, but he is still one of the game’s premier power threats and best defensive outfielders, and putting that game-changer back into the lineup could be the meal ticket that helps turn the Dodgers around.
