The Los Angeles Dodgers are back home after a ten-game road trip in which they went 2-8, a period in which they’ve also lost 15 out of their last 20 games. In the two games in which they won, the Dodger offense exploded for double-digit runs. Other than that, it’s been quiet.
If the team is going to have a stretch as bad as this one, it may very well be during this early part of the season instead of October. Despite the struggles, the Dodgers currently sit with an 18-17 record and in third place in the National League West behind the Padres and the Giants.
