On paper they look awesome, great pitching, great hitting, deep bench, decent fielding, and I keep waiting for them to run away with the NL West but so far they haven't. They are in a dead head with the Padres and just got swept by the Giants. They are looking up at the Mets in the NL and multiple AL teams. Past 10 games they've gone 4-6 which includes the 3 game Giant sweep.
Is the West more open than we imagined at the start of the season?
Bellinger, Muncy and Justin Turner not hitting much. Betts, Freeman, Trea Turner and Will Smith have been carrying them offensively.
Kershaw was out for awhile (which was inevitable). Now Buehler out for an extended time, possibly the rest of the year. Bullpen has been shaky this last month.
Tyler Anderson and Gonsolin have been lights out. Anderson just took a no-hitter into the 9th. He’s 8-0. I think both will regress at some point.
So yes, the Dodgers are vulnerable right now. Interesting to see who they pick up at the deadline.
