Dodgers: The Long Ball Tells the Story of Success and Failure

During June, the Dodgers are the best slugging team in baseball since they found success with their launch angle.

Through 22 games, the Dodgers offense has slugged 51 home runs, the most in baseball for the month of June. The New York Yankees are a close second with 40.

With three games left to play for the calendar month, the Dodgers are six home runs away from setting a new record for most home runs hit by a single team in one month.

The long ball equals success for the Dodgers.

In two straight games, against the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs, the Dodgers scored nine runs.
