The Dodgers lost again last night. It’s about time to panic. Chad wrote those words earlier, and things do not look great right now. The Dodgers are playing poorly and find themselves 3.5 games behind Arizona for the NL West and three games behind both St. Louis and Milwaukee for one of the two NL Wild Card spots. Today, the Dodgers look to avoid getting swept by the Cardinals and their ninth loss in the last 12 games.
