After watching the Dodgies blow yet another lead against a sub-par team, it's officially time to start asking ourselves: "Yes, but what about next year?"
No, but it is time to question where the Dodgers (or your team) will end up at the end of the year. Traditionally, I've fielded predictions at Game 10. Send along your predictions for any teams you like to mhudson@edmunds.com. If you're really ambitious, send along the playoffs and who wins.
We've got a series of issues with the Dodgers that seem to be turning into major problems:
- 12th Worst ERA in the Majors
- 5th Most HRs given up
- 8th Most Rs given up
This is cancelling out the huge, huge positives for this team:
- 5th in AVG
- 8th in OBP
- 4th in Rs scored
My instincts told me the Dodgers were getting bit by the BB bug, but it turns out they rank fairly low in the number of walks allowed...but those walks are almost always turning into runs -- hence the discrepancy in the pitching stats? Grrrr.
Anyway you look at it, there's trouble in River City. Your predictions to come...
