The Los Angeles Dodgers are trending in the wrong direction heading into the All-Star Break. After going 3-5 and losing back-to-back games to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Dodgers dropped one spot in Newsweek’s MLB Power Rankings on Thursday.
The Dodgers at 55-38 are No. 4 this week behind the Phillies, the Cleveland Guardians, and the Baltimore Orioles.
With all the injuries stockpiling, it’s no surprise the Dodgers slipped. Their offense has been inconsistent and their pitching has been shaky. If it weren’t for Gavin Stone, who knows where Los Angeles would be?
Stone and the Dodgers had the opportunity to steal a game from the best team in baseball on Wednesday night.
