That’s what California Post baseball writers Dylan Hernandez and Jack Harris are debating on the latest episode of the Dodgers Post podcast.
After the Dodgers’ Monday night loss to the San Francisco Giants, the pair analyzed the Dodgers’ continued skid over the last several weeks, and how much of what they’ve seen lately has raised bigger-picture concerns about the club’s World Series aspirations.
They also dive into Shohei Ohtani’s slump specifically, and try to identify why the four-time MVP has not been able to snap out of what is now a weeks-long funk.
Later, they break down Roki Sasaki’s most recent start, and whether the young right-hander is making enough to progress to warrant remaining in the Dodgers’ rotation moving forward this year.
They also discuss Mookie Betts’ return from the IL, and how much of an impact he will be able to making on the team’s slumping lineup.
As always, they then finish with their weekly predictions, and look ahead to the rest of this week’s series with the Giants.
All that and more on this latest edition of Dodgers Post.
