The road to a repeat championship is never easy, and they head into the second half of the season hoping the worst of the bumps along the way are behind them. LA trails the first-place Giants by two games in the NL West, a division the Dodgers have won eight consecutive years. The Dodgers visit Colorado for three games starting Friday to open the second half. BETTS AND BELLIMookie Betts and Cody Bellinger struggled at the plate in the first half, although Betts is showing signs of coming around. Bellinger is hitting .176, with four homers and 17 RBIs, and the Dodgers need his production to step up in the second half.
