Los Angeles Dodgers: Ranking all seven division winners
By Jamaal Artis
1A. (I cheated so sue me) 2019: Currently 94-53 .639 NLW +18.5
If the season was over this Los Angeles Dodgers team would be number one. By the end of the season, they probably will be the greatest Dodgers regular-season team. The Dodgers broke the NL season record for home runs with one month left in the season. They have a run differential of plus 233, which has them on pace to break their record from 2017 (+219).
When the team isn’t bludgeoning others with their offense, they tend to be pretty good at pitching the ball too. They are ranked number one in the NL in ERA (3.44), WHIP (1.112), strikeout to walk ratio (3.95) and batting average (.226).
The biggest flaws for this team so far are the defense and bullpen. The Dodgers are 12th in errors and 11th in fielding percentage. The bullpen is below league average, only converting 60 percent on save situations and have the 10th highest blown saves 25 (Just four from the top).
No one knows how this team will do in October but depending on the finish, this team may go down as the greatest team in franchise history.
