The Dodgers haven’t been good in August, and that’s as simple as it gets. They’ve gone 8-12 in the month, and it’s been akin to their struggles in April as Chad noted yesterday. The bullpen has given up 10 leads or ties in the seventh inning or later over the last 13 games. However, it hasn’t all been bad.
The offense has definitely been inconsistent, but their collective August 119 wRC+ is tied with the Mets for the fifth best in baseball. Prior to their 3-1 loss last night, their August wRC+ was 124, tied with the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks for the best in baseball.
