Today, the Dodgers begin the second half of the season and probably their toughest stretch of games this year, facing four teams with better records that the Dodgers themselves currently possess, and one of those teams twice.
They start their new look lineup tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers, a team they will face twice in the next 14 games. The addition of Manny Machado to the lineup has fans and teammates alike pumped for the run to the playoffs. The first lineup with Machado in it had not been released at this writing, but manager Dave Roberts said that he would be somewhere in the heart of the order.
