I am not about to make excuses for the hated Dodgers but they have been decimated by injuries this year.The Dodgers are in a death spiral right now. The bullpen is blowing almost every game. They might pull out of the funk at some point but it's looking grim.
All things being equal if they are healthy the Dodgers are a super (payroll) team.No super teams out there this year.

They are only 4GB, not out of the question.The Giants have won 11 of 12, it is probably too late to grab a wild-card but it is great to see some wins.
A $375 mil payroll should include a top notch bullpen.The Dodgers' bullpen is awful. Every day I read about the Dodgers starting pitcher going five or more innings only to have the relief pitcher get shelled and blow the game. Absent a miracle, they are toast in the playoffs.
375 million doesn't buy what it used to apparently.A $375 mil payroll should include a top notch bullpen.
Going to go out on a limb and say they still at least make the WS.
