As April concludes, the Dodgers command the NL West, buoyed by significant investment in prime-player talent despite facing injuries and setbacks. Star players like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman continue to deliver strong performances, while Mookie Betts is recovering from an illness. Despite issues like Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow's injuries and Roki Sasaki's adaptation struggles, the Dodgers' depth and talent keep them ahead of the competition. Insights from the landscape of other divisions reveal various levels of team performance, from surprises to underwhelming outputs.
It's not one thing that necessarily separates the Dodgers from the rest of the NL West and the rest of baseball in general.
Despite all of these things, LA has enough talent to still flourish.
Mookie Betts hasn't been himself, still dealing with the aftermath of an illness that caused him to lose a lot of weight.
Shohei Ohtani remains, among other things, the greatest designated hitter in the sport.
