Dodgers’ Rollercoaster First Half: How a Dramatic Win Over Giants Set the Stage for What’s Next

Scott, a $72 million signing this offseason, has converted only 19 of his 26 save opportunities this year. He has a 4.09 ERA and eight home runs allowed. And his struggles have made the bullpen a prime area of need for the Dodgers entering the trade deadline.
“[He’s] just in-zone too much,” Roberts said, “and getting beat by [the slider] or getting beat by the fastball in similar locations.”
The Dodgers’ offense has been equally quixotic.
Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman both hit the midway point mired in extended slumps — though Freeman made a couple key contributions Sunday, lining an RBI double in the fourth inning before putting the Dodgers back in front in the 11th with a bloop single that dropped in center.
