The lesson, as usual, is that I'm an idiot.
You see, last week I made the comment that the Dodgers will remain in the top spot the rest of the season due to all the credit they've built up. They had. They were at 91-36, which was a pace of 116 wins. Why wouldn't I feel confident in saying they'd stay put? It's not fun to leave a team at the top all season, but I'm not about to move teams just for the sake of moving them.
Well, they've now dropped 10 of 11.
