They have won the last two World Series titles and have gotten even better over the offseason. Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz are incredible additions, making the top contender even better. But, there is one big loss that the Dodgers will need to answer for: Clayton Kershaw.
As ESPN's Bradford Doolittle points out, the Dodgers are facing a big question with Kershaw, and specifically with his 112. 2 innings pitched last season. Los Angeles needs to replace those innings, and it might not be the easiest thing for the Dodgers.
Dodgers have to find 112. 2 innings after Kershaw's retirement "Pivotal number: 112 2/3. This is Clayton Kershaw's innings count from his final season, which happened to rank second on the Dodgers," Doolittle writes.
