The Dodgers will go into the All-Star Break at least 30 games over .500. We would all be happier if it were 32 games above, but that depends upon whether the Dodger bats wake up or not. It would be great to see Chicken Strip pitch about 7 shutout innings! I still see him as a great trade chip, especially if he can have a good outing today. Teams need starters and if he can show he can do that, he may very well be in play to return a lock-down reliever.
Even though the bullpen is improving – the Dodgers’ Bullpen ERA just dropped below 4.
