The first-place Dodgers (48-26) take on the Rockies (47-28) in a big weekend series at Dodger Stadium starting Friday night. The Dodgers will be vying for their eighth straight win as they continue to mash an obscene amount of home runs on this historic run. Memories of summer 2013 have been dancing around my head as I watch the 2017 version of the Dodgers, a youthful bunch of talented players hungry for the end prize. I’m just along for the ride.
The Dodgers collected 36 runs and 15 home runs against the woeful Mets during the four-game sweep, the most homers in a Dodgers’ series since the nineties.
