After dropping a series in Cincinnati the Dodgers’ weird and wildly frustrating season moves on, possibly on the verge of pulling off a rare and dubious feat.
The Dodgers have outscored their opponents by 133 runs in 2018, tops in the National League. The Cubs, owners of the best record in the NL, are next at +111.
With 16 games remaining, the Dodgers are currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs, one game out in the National League West (pending the outcome of Wednesday night’s Arizona-Colorado matchup) and two games back of the second wild card position.
