The Dodgers may well be the best team in Baseball, but they’re playing like Betts is playing, the worst! It’s annoying seeing such talent go to waste!
It’s certainly frustrating watching the Dodgers struggle given the star power on the team. However, when they are firing on all cylinders the Dodgers are invincible. Hopefully, the team plays that way in Games 6 and 7 to win it all.
