The Dodgers are currently leading Major League Baseball in on-base-plus-slugging percentage and rank high in scoring and batting average. They have standout players like Will Smith and Freddie Freeman, who have performed well. However, the team has struggled since July, recording low runs, batting average, and OPS. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need for improved performance from the lineup. The Dodgers held back at the trade deadline, counting on underperforming players to improve, but only Freeman has shown signs of revival recently.
Since the start of July, the Dodgers have scored the third-fewest runs in the majors and have the second-lowest team batting average and fourth-lowest OPS.
Manager Dave Roberts stated, 'If you look at it from the offensive side, they’ll be the first to tell you they’ve got to perform better and more consistently.'
Despite being the league's top players in hitting and OPS earlier this season, only Freddie Freeman has shown tangible signs of a late-season revival.
The Dodgers have several players expected to receive MVP votes, including Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith, who have excellent batting averages and OPS.
