The Dodgers are in a rut, it’s as simple as that. The team uncharacteristically has struggled to provide any sort of consistent play over the last month and it has come back to bite them. LA now sits in third place within the NL West after being swept by the San Francisco Giants at home this weekend. The Dodgers went 2-4 over their six game home stand, including a 15-0 loss on Saturday evening.
Through the three games against the Giants, LA was outscored 29-8. This includes San Francisco being no hit through six innings on Friday night before the Dodgers bullpen imploded.
