By now you would have to live under a rock not to know that the Los Angeles Dodgers are a completely different team than they were during the first half of the season. There can be very few teams even in the conversation of being as good as the Dodgers are right now. They have been so good that they had a 15-game road winning streak. The key word there is “road”. Most teams in both leagues prefer playing at home but the Dodgers have been knocking it dead everywhere. Not to worry about it ending however, another win streak is bound to start again soon.
Even the recent day to day loss of Hanley Ramirez hasn’t slowed the Dodgers down. This whole thing started with Ramirez’s superb play and then continued with the great debut of Yasiel Puig. It has grown way passed that at this point however. Now they are almost certainly the best team in the National League if not all of baseball. That comes even without Ramirez for the last few games.
Ramirez isn’t going to the disabled list so he’ll be back soon enough. Matt Kemp is rehabbing and headed back from the disabled list soon. Powerful reliever Brian Wilson is also slowly getting ready for the playoff run. In other words, the best team in MLB is actually getting better over the next few weeks. If they are not overly better than any other team in baseball right now, they will most certainly be that team when everyone is healthy and playing at 100%. In fact it is almost scary to think about.
