Games 98-100 Thread: July 19-21 vs. Red Sox

Happier times: the one bright spot of WS2018.
Too bad that guy is still injured this season, though.

Fri 7.19 7p: TBD vs. Pivetta
Sat 7.20 4.15p: TBD vs. Bello
Sun 7.21 4.10p: TBD vs. Crawford

Hopefully the Dodgers rested well in that All-Star Break, because they come out of the break to face the resurgent Red Sox. The Dodgers were a pathetic 1-5 over their last six, and 3-7 over their last 10 games. The Red Sox, on the other hand, have closed the gap to 4.5 games behind the AL East-leading Orioles, and though Boston is in third place, they are playing a lot better than many forecasted earlier in the season.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers have a seven-game lead over both the Snakes and Padres, despite playing .500 ball for over a month. We're certainly on path to limp our way into crunch time. And it doesn't feel good.
