The Dodgers, especially when observing them through the lens of their preseason standard as one of the greatest teams ever assembled, are off to a disappointing start.
Now, there is more than enough time for the Dodgers to start dominating like many, including themselves, expected at the start of the year.
Still, it is inarguable that other teams in the division have an opportunity to get a jump on the World Series favorites.
When is the Dodgersâ next NL West series?
The Dodgers will be facing the San Francisco Giants in May, this time at home, the Padres on the road, and the Rockies at home.
Within the division, the Padres stand out as the Dodgersâ biggest rivals. The Giantsâ offense looks totally anemic, and their bullpen seems like a liability, while the Rockies are still rebuilding and far from a true threat in the division.
The Diamondbacks have talent on their roster to be solid and potentially get hot at the right time, though the Padres have the paper edge.
However, the Dodgers are a good hitting spell away from really pulling away in the division race, with all the pitching talent they have in the minor leagues and on the injured list.
The pitching staff is a real strength for the team, and they should be good all year long, which means their wins total will come down to their offense, which has been concerning early on, though it is too early to take too much from the struggles.
