The Los Angeles Dodgers are not at the top of the latest power rankings for the best rotations in the league.
According to Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report, the Dodgers come in at No. 2 in the ranking, trailing behind the New York Yankees.
" One of the inherent benefits of the Dodgers' six-man rotation is that guys can pitch a bit deeper into games. And en route to an MLB-best 23 quality starts, Los Angeles is the only team that has already had at least nine cases of a starting pitcher throwing at least 100 pitches. However, Shohei Ohtani has only needed 100 pitches once in his season-opening streak of six consecutive quality starts. Whether he'll pitch enough innings for an ERA title is questionable at best, but his 0.97 ERA is ridiculously good."
