The Dodgers lineup and depth at SP appears to be better than the other teams in their division.
I truly expect the Dodgers to win the World Series this year with a balanced mix of youth and veterans. Where vets fail, youth will be given a chance and if not up to the task, Ned Coletti will acquire players near the deadline to fill the gaps.
