When it comes to bullpens, the Dodgers are the team to beat. Much of Los Angeles’ success in both 2016 and 2017 is owed to the league-leading bullpen. Kenley Jansen is perfect so far in save chances, Pedro Baez has a sub-1 ERA, and Josh Fields has impressed early on. Unexpected long-relief appearances from Ross Stripling, Hyun-Jin Ryu, and Kenta Maeda have also helped give the bullpen plenty of rest.
The Dodgers also have an aptitude for scoring late. The most recent comeback win coming via a six-run eighth inning capped by a Corey Seager grand slam against the Cincinnati Reds.
