Not all teams of last place are created equal. This will not necessarily be the message placed in the Dodgers clubhouse before Monday’s match against the Colorado rockies; It could as well be. After a nightmare of a road trip against pirates and Orioles, the dodgers descend further in the Power MLB ranking, returning home to accommodate 40-103 rocky. In the midst of all the negative points on which we could concentrate these days, the light at the end of the tunnel for this team is the resurgence of Mookie Betts. After a largely disappointing campaign for most of 2025, Betts teases us with a return from this star bat, which could change the situation for the dodgers.
Many were made of the star team of the Dodgers before the season and the ceiling that this team would have. Near the playoffs, when things clearly do not work as it was expected, Dodgers need these stars to deliver them, clear and simple. This is what happened on Sunday, with Betts and Shohei Ohtani doing all of the work, combining for three circuits and four points produced in a 5-2 victory.
Since he went 3 to 4 during a victory in Saint-Louis about a month ago, Betts was exceptional, hitting for a .330 AVG and breaking five of the 16 circuits he has this season. The Dodgers stop still has time to exceed 19 bombs that he struck in 116 games last year.
One of these good performances in the middle of this fascinating race came when he had to replace for Ohtani as a head striker on the road against Chase Dollander and the Rockies. The Dodgers played a one -day match just after Ohtani launched, and they decided to give him a break, which made everyone put a place in order. Betts set the table, repercussions in four of its last five strikers, and the Dodgers enjoyed themselves against Dollander, winning this 9-5 match.
Every day, any launcher in the big leagues is capable of giving an offense adapts if everything is aligned for him. Regarding this, the Dodgers could not ask for a better right scenario than to accommodate $ 2-12 and its ERA of 6.77, which is somehow much lower than its figures against dodgers, having granted 10 points in 9.1 rounds against Los Angeles.
