The Dodgers are not in a great place right now. They’ve lost 15 out of their last 20 games and don’t appear to even be trending in the right direction. Their bats go cold at the wrong time, their bullpen is a mess, and no one can stay healthy for long.
But if there is one positive to this slide, it can be found in the standings. The Dodgers are still just 2.5 games back of the Giants for first place in the NL West despite a ridiculous losing streak. There isn’t one team pulling away and it’s definitely played into Los Angeles’ favor.
