The Astros will head to LA to play two against the Dodgers this Saturday and Sunday, a team that holds the best record in baseball at 32-13. To the consternation of the NL West hopefuls, the Dodgers have been exactly as advertised this year and seem on their way to yet another division title.
But things aren’t quite as secure as they have been in the past thanks to a new kid on the block in the NL West. For the first time in a while, the Dodgers have a competitor within striking distance as we head into the final weeks of the season.
