Easy schedule coming up

Phil Gurnee ♦ July 13, 2017 ♦ 2 Comments

As we noted a few days ago, the Dodgers first half record is one of the best in franchise history and if the Dodgers can take advantage of an easy schedule coming out of the break they could make a real run a winning 100 games plus this year.

Only one time from now until the end of the year do the Dodgers play two good teams in a row.  It is crazy just how weak this schedule looks right now.

They don’t play a winning team until July 24th, and by that time the Twins could even be in a tailspin given what they are working with.

Finally, on Aug 8th, the Dodgers get to meet the Diamondbacks again.  We should know by then if they are real contenders for the West or simply playing for the wild card. Or neither.

On Aug 25th, the Dodgers start a series against the 1st place Brewers, followed by the Diamondbacks. Let that sink in. Using the current records, the two best teams the Dodgers will face from now until Sept are the Brewers and Diamondbacks and what are the odds that both those teams would still be playing well by then?

The only two teams left that you could say right now are good teams are the Rockies and Nationals.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an easier schedule. Maybe I should knock on wood but it would not be hard for me to see the Dodgers win 110 games this year.
