On paper, the Dodgers should consistently be one of the top teams in baseball. They have one of the better lineups in the league even when enduring injuries. But regardless of how they should be performing, they just keep finding ways to lose against teams they should beat.
That includes the Rockies, who took the first 2 games of the series already. The Dodgers watched Clayton Kershaw get roughed up and the offense couldn’t keep up on Tuesday. And coming into the game as -225 favorites against Colorado, that shouldn’t happen.
But it’s sort of been the theme for the year for the Dodgers.
