Moral Victory

The Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 8-1 Thursday afternoon, sweeping the four game series and cutting the Dodgers lead to 16 games. It proves to Arizona that they can hang with what appeared to be a super team, and they also likely prevented Los Angeles from setting a record for wins in a season. The Dodgers could go 24-6 the rest of the season, but I would not count on it. Arizona also has a nice lead for the first wild card slot after both the Diamondbacks and Rockies let other teams into the race.

Yes, the Dodgers are a bit depleted right now, but they’ve been a bit depleted all year. Maybe this is part of a regression that was due.
