Dodgers News

Alek Thomas is making waves with the Dodgers, showcasing a resurgence that has Arizona fans regretting letting him go. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are facing tough challenges in Atlanta, as their hopes of avoiding a series sweep were thwarted by a vintage Chris Sale performance, despite Yoshinobu Yamamoto's impressive 6 1/3 inning, eight-strikeout outing. With a record of 80-53, the Dodgers can still take heart in their strong performance lately, boasting a 5-2 record over the past week and a solid +7 run differential. As they fight for every win against the Braves, who stand at 78-55, the team must harness the momentum of their hot bats, like Max Muncy and Shohei Ohtani, to keep the pressure on in the final stretch of the season.
