The Los Angeles Dodgers have started the month of August off at 2-1, and if they want to catch the San Francisco Giants in the NL West, they’re going to have to stay at least at that pace for the rest of the month and beyond.
While the Giants are 11-8 since the All-Star break, not great, but obviously not terrible. The Dodgers are 9-9, and find themselves 3.5 games out of first. The lack of urgency in the head to head matchup for the Boys in Blue against the rivals to the North did the team no favors.
