Can Any National League Team Challenge the Dodgers?

The question on many minds—can other National League teams really contend with the Dodgers and prevent them from claiming their third consecutive championship?

That’s the topic of discussion for California Post baseball writers Dylan Hernandez and Jack Harris in the latest episode of the Dodger Post podcast. The Dodgers are making strides towards another World Series title, having recently secured a series win against the Phillies.

Undoubtedly, the Phillies should be a primary contender for the Dodgers this season, alongside teams like the Brewers, Braves, and Cubs.

After their victory in two out of three games this week at Citizens Bank Park, Hernandez and Harris delve into which teams could genuinely stand in the way of the Dodgers’ World Series ambitions.

The conversation also shifts to Kyle Tucker’s recent struggles, an update on Shohei Ohtani’s knee injury, and the rise of Dalton Rushing as the starting catcher in Will Smith’s absence.

They further analyze the team’s strategy as the trade deadline approaches and express skepticism about the likelihood of a major acquisition happening soon.

As always, they wrap up by answering questions from the audience, including whether re-signing Cody Bellinger would have been a better move this winter.

Lastly, a brief recap of last week’s predictions is provided, along with new forecasts for the Dodgers’ upcoming series against the Mets, ending with a fun trivia quiz between the hosts.
