Dodgers News: Will Smith is a Difference Maker for LA and the Numbers Prove it

Your Dodgers are in first place in the NL West, 8 games over .500 and 3 games back of having the best record in the National League. Thank you, Will Smith.

No, seriously, the Dodgers have been insane when Will Smith is in the lineup. In the 22 games he’s been in the lineup as either catcher or the DH, the Dodgers are 16-6 (16-5 in games he starts… he was forced in to one game after Austin Barnes was ejected for arguing with the umpire). LA is 8-9 without Will in the lineup, including a 6-7 stretch while he was on the injured list.
