This one will be less fun than grading the rotation.
The bullpen, for the second consecutive year, was the Dodgers biggest weakness. It started off ominously, as their closer had foot surgery in February and didn’t make his first appearance until May 15.
Overall, the numbers around the Dodger bullpen were sort of confusing. Their bullpen actually threw the fifth-fewest innings in all of baseball, but had the 12th-highest bullpen ERA. They had the fifth-fewest walks given up and struck out the fifth-most batters, but were middle of the pack in terms of runs allowed and batting average against.
