For the first time in 8 years, the Dodgers have not crowned division winners of the NL West after the San Francisco Giants narrowly edged out the Dodgers. Los Angeles gave everything they had and put up a good fight. They had some notable help in the form of Max Scherzer and Trea Turner. Without either one of them, the division race would not have been as close as it was.
Turner added a spark to the lineup and brought home a batting title, while the team won all 11 of Scherzer’s regular season. However, both of them disappointed in the playoffs when it mattered most.
