Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers face mounting pressure after suffering six straight losses and back-to-back series sweeps, shrinking their division lead and raising key questions about playoff momentum.

Shohei Ohtani’s two-homer performance can’t prevent a sweep by the Chicago Cubs, while concerns grow over Eric Lauer’s rough showing on the mound. Kyle Tucker and Mookie Betts' road resurgence gives hope, but the Dodgers’ offensive inconsistencies and bullpen woes signal a critical juncture for the team.

Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers spotlight Pete Crow-Armstrong’s breakout series and the rapidly tightening National League MVP race—has PCA closed the gap on Ohtani, or even surpassed him?

The hosts debate whether finishing with the NL’s best record is truly the Dodgers’ best path, or if a number 3 seed might better suit their elite pitching staff. All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!

Los Angeles Dodgers' late rally falls short as Shohei Ohtani belts two home runs, but a 6-game losing streak continues to frustrate fans. Can Mookie Betts’ four-hit performance and flashes of offensive life turn the tide before it’s too late?
