The Los Angeles Dodgers might have made themselves World Series front-runners with the acquisition of Mookie Betts and David Price in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.
The Dodgers are coming off a 106-win season and their seventh straight NL West title. They haven't been quite as successful in the playoffs in recent years—they lost in the World Series in 2017 and 2018 and lost to the Washington Nationals in the National League Division Series last year—but Betts should go a long way toward solving that problem.
