What We’ve Learned About the Los Angeles Dodgers Near the Halfway Mark

The Los Angeles Dodgers' lead in the National League West is just 1.5 games, which can be seen as both a positive and a negative at this point of the season. On one hand, the team has suffered massive injuries to key contributors and remains in first place. On the other hand, though, it has gotten some surprisingly positive performances but has been unable to build any kind of lead on San Francisco.
