The Dodgers might find themselves coasting through the latter half of the season with their playoff berth almost guaranteed, owing to a significant lead in their division. Nonetheless, some players still have much to prove before October rolls around.
This is the primary focus for California Post baseball columnists Dylan Hernandez and Jack Harris on the latest installment of the Dodgers Post podcast. They kick things off by exploring the tumultuous first half of the season experienced by young pitcher Roki Sasaki.
The duo scrutinizes Sasaki’s recent performance against the Colorado Rockies, noting signs of progress following his recent slump. They also speculate on what Sasaki must do to secure a spot in the Dodgers’ postseason pitching ensemble and assess his current standing within the team’s rotation.
In the latter part of the podcast, Hernandez and Harris delve into Justin Wrobleski’s omission from the All-Star lineup, examining whether there’s still hope for his participation in the Midsummer Classic. They also discuss Shohei Ohtani’s achievement of hitting his 300th career home run and project the potential milestones he might reach in the remainder of his MLB journey.
