Dodgers winning formula
The Dodgers maintain their winning ways by leaning on reliable starting pitching and just enough offensive output rather than relying on high-scoring performances.
Shohei Ohtani's status
The Dodgers appear to be effectively moving away from using Shohei Ohtani as a two-way player this season, focusing entirely on his offensive contribution to ensure he remains viable for the playoffs.
Ohtani leadoff spot
Shohei Ohtani should remain in the leadoff spot for now, as the current inconsistency of the rest of the Dodgers lineup necessitates having their most impactful threat hitting as frequently as possible.
Load management and magic number
The Dodgers are balancing essential load management for veteran stars like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman while pushing to secure the National League West title and a top-two postseason seed.
