Can the LA Dodgers qualify for the playoffs in the 2023 MLB season?
The LA Dodgers are currently second in the NL West with a 48-38 record. Dave Roberts' side is behind only the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have a 50-37 record at present and are leading the division.
The Dodgers are strongly in contention for a playoff spot. However, there's still a long way to go in the regular season and the San Francisco Giants (47-40) have also been closing in on a potential postseason berth as well.
Los Angeles will need to string together a good run in the second half of the campaign in order to remain in the hunt for the playoffs.
