After losing the series 2-1 last weekend to the Dark Side the Dodgers are in fine shape. The hitters have been in a funk since after the All-Star Break, but it hard to keep focused when you are 20+ games ahead of the nearest team in your division and are about to clinch a playoff spot in August.
Dave Roberts has dialed-down the intensity and is resting players as much as possible… even encouraging them to come late to the ballpark and skip BP. The Dodgers are on Auto-Pilot for the next two weeks. It’s just impossible to maintain the intensity every day.
