Wednesday night in Chicago was the Dodgers' 54th game of 2016, meaning the season is officially one-third over. It is time for triannual checkup to see how the team is doing.
We have done this every year since 2009, so we can compare eight seasons' worth of numbers. The Dodgers' record thus far is rather ordinary, on pace for just 84 wins, but their run differential (+35) is the third-best of the last eight years through 54 games, trailing only 2009 (+87) and 2015 (+50), and a 31-win pythagorean record.
