Los Angeles Dodgers: 45-26, ELITE BUT TESTED!
Record: 45-26 (.633, FIRST IN NL WEST!)
The Dodgers are 45–26 and FIRST IN THE NL WEST! They’re an ELITE team but they’re ALSO HUMAN! We beat them 8-2 in Game 1! They had to DOMINATE in Game 2 with Yamamoto’s nearly no-hitter to force a Game 3! They’re 23-14 away from home (solid on the road!) but they’re FACING a WHITE SOX TEAM PLAYING WELL AT HOME!
Strengths:
- 45-26 record (ELITE!)
- First in NL West (DOMINANT division!)
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto (nearly threw no-hitter!)
- Max Muncy: 2 HRs, 4 RBI in Game 2!
- Elite offense overall
Vulnerabilities:
- “Depleted” roster (mentioned in reports!)
- Emmet Sheehan (3-3, 4.70 ERA) (not as good as Yamamoto!)
- Lost Game 1 decisively (8-2!)
- We’re strong at home (23-12!)
The Dodgers are ELITE but they’re VULNERABLE in this rubber match!
