"Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts was hitting just .240 through the month of July this season with a .681 OPS. Since the start of August, Betts has roared back with a slash line of .294/.351/.478 with an OPS of .828, adding nine of his 20 home runs in that span as well. His hot streak has continued into the postseason, hitting .389 with three RBIs and three extra-base hits in those four games."
"With a trip to the NLCS being just one win away (and two opportunities to do it at home), Betts had a message for Dodgers fans ahead of Game 3 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies. "We've got to bring it. Those guys definitely did (in Philadelphia)," Betts said. "It was loud. My ears were ringing a couple times. A really good atmosphere to play baseball in. Really fun. You really felt the love for the Phillies. You felt the love for the city.""
Mookie Betts hit .240 in July with a .681 OPS before improving since August to a .294/.351/.478 slash line and a .828 OPS, adding nine of his 20 home runs in that span. His hot streak continued into the postseason, hitting .389 with three RBIs and three extra-base hits in four games. Betts urged Dodger fans to be loud at home after experiencing the intense atmosphere at Citizens Bank Park. Citizens Bank Park had been one of the toughest playoff environments for visiting teams. Betts' resurgence has stabilized the Dodgers after a difficult stretch. The Dodgers recovered from a five-game September skid to go 14-10 entering the postseason.
