But we’ll get to that in a bit.
Coming into Week three, it appeared the Dodgers had a terrific opportunity to get well in a hurry. The A’s were coming in for two games surrounded by two off days, followed by the Diamondbacks for a three-game weekend set.
After Monday’s scheduled off day, the Dodgers opened up the five-game homestand with a floundering Oakland team that hasn’t been relevant in the A.L. West standings since 2014, having finished dead last in the division in each the past three seasons.
Time to right the ship, right? Not so fast, my friend (with apologies to Lee Corso).
