It was a big week for the Dodgers and their fanbase. They went from worrying about who was going to start games for them down the stretch to wondering where an All-Star like Trea Turner was going to fit into the lineup. It’s a great problem to have.
The trade that landed them Max Scherzer and Trea Turner seems to have solved several problems for them, including pitching. That trade not only gave the team a bit of a morale boost but also a boost in the Power Rankings.
In the latest MLB Power Ranking update, the Dodgers jumped up to the top spot from number 3 the week before.
