Pitching was on a different level this year for the Dodgers as their bullpen and most notably starting rotation led the way. Even after losing Dustin May, Trevor Bauer, Clayton Kershaw, for parts if not most of the year, the 3-headed monster of Max Scherzer, Walker Buehler, and Julio Urías kept the team afloat.
Without them, the Dodgers wouldn’t have had a chance to come as close as they did to keeping their division crown. In the eyes of Dodgers fans, all 3 should be leading candidates for the National League Cy Young Award.
