While the Los Angeles Dodgers can at least take solace in the fact that they aren’t in the middle of a depressing slog of a season like the AL favorite New York Yankees are, this team is not as dominant as they were expected to be, and they have allowed some of their NL West rivals to overtake them in the standings.
The Dodgers have more than enough pitching to carry this team thanks to Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer, and even a banged-up lineup that is underperforming a bit is one of the best in baseball.
