Now that the Dodgers have climbed back into contention, please don’t let Bill Plaschke write anything nice about them.

Dylan Hernandez opined Friday that the schedule favored the the Dodgers, due, in part, to playing the “delightfully pitiful” Giants. Please note that the Giants have a winning record against the Dodgers this year (9-7). And took two out of three from the Diamondbacks prior to the Dodgers losing to them Thursday.
