a rough stretch

Comfortable territory. Only 1 of the last 7 in the win column. And giving up 6.3 runs a game. That's the biggest issue.

Dodgers News

The Dodgers are in a tailspin, with a dismal 1-6 record over the last week that has seen them drop a tight game to the Cubs 6-7, raising serious concerns about their playoff prospects. With a run differential of -16, the once-dominant pitching staff is struggling, allowing 6.3 runs per game. The recent acquisition of Tarik Skubal offers a glimmer of hope, especially in light of the Red Sox's exorbitant trade for Adley Rutschman, which puts the Dodgers' bargain deal into perspective. Meanwhile, Kyle Tucker faced a chorus of boos from Cubs fans, a reminder that free agency can leave lasting scars. As the injuries pile up and the pressure mounts, the Dodgers must find a way to regroup before their lead in the division slips away.
