In the more than four months after the start of the season, we once lamented the story of the four major teams in New York and Los Angeles dominating the east and west areas of the two leagues at the end of April. We also thought that Yankees would make history, but with the Angels losing 14 consecutive times, Yankees fell in August, and the Metropolis encountered the Warriors' battle in the East District of the National League... In the end, even though many important players were injured, the Dodgers, who had a steady and experienced journey, lived up to expectations and won the ninth division champion of 
0 years, Next, let us understand the successful DNA of this major league "cosmic team".
Successful DNA double helix - Offensive
During the offseason, Dodge lost their World Series MVP Corey Seager. After the start of this season, , which was once a strong contender for the National League MVP last season, Max Munchy also fell into a downturn , with a long-term strike rate of less than 20%. Cody Bellinger, the 2019 MVP, has not improved in the past three seasons. has also failed to regain himself this year, and the strike rate is only around 20% .
Cody Bellinger
Perhaps for many teams, such attack loss is irreparable, but for the ambition and experienced Dodges, they can always find a solution to the problem: since they have lost in the free market, what should they get from the free market - 021 World Series champion first baseman Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles welcomes you! , a first baseman who has almost won all honors, seamlessly connected to the Dodgers' hit line after returning to his hometown. He ranked first in the National League in many statistics such as strike rate, hits, and second base hits. perfectly made up for the artillery gap left by Sieg's departure .

For Dodgers, who have extremely outstanding lineup depth, the east side is not bright, the west side is bright. Although Munci and Bellinger have not yet recovered their form, another former MVP winner, Mookie Betts, resurrected with full health. By Bates' own standards, he performed poorly last season, but now he has become a pioneering player that makes all teams in the major league. Not only is he proud of the National League in scoring, but also scored a career-high 34 home runs!

In addition to Freeman and Bates, in the two positions that should have focused on defending and offense, "Actor" Will Smith) and Trea Turner both played an adjusted attack index (OPS+) of more than 120 , which also ensured that even if there were players who performed below average in the line, Dodge's team attack index was still far ahead in the major leagues. Just imagine, if Bellinger and the others broke out in playoffs like they did last year, how terrifying would this team's attack power be?

Successful DNA double helix—Defense
Dodge, who stands out on the offensive end, is also strong on the pitching end, and the team's self-blame rate ranks first in the league. Walker Buehler, who performed well last season, suffered from injuries this season and finally decided to undergo recombinant elbow ligament surgery for the season. Even so, the Dodgers still have three ace pitchers who have won at least 15 wins and shots.

The most amazing performance among the three pitchers is the Dodge's surprise this season, Tony Gonsolin. This pitcher who only accumulated 10 wins in the first three seasons of his career seemed to have "cheated" this season and became the team's winning and shooting harvester. won 16 wins and 1 defeat, and his magical performance with an ERA of 2.10 .
Tony Gonsolin
Unfortunately, for Gonsolin, who has never exceeded 60 innings in a single season, still seems a little overwhelmed by the load of pitching in the last 130 innings. At the end of August, he was on the injury list due to a forearm strain. However, he has begun to practice shooting in the bullpen. If he can return on the fire before the start of the playoffs, even as a rescue pitcher, I believe it will be a huge addition to the Dodgers' pitching lineup.

In addition, the young and mature Julio Urias and Tyler Anderson, who joined this season, both scored their best performance in their careers. The former is currently the NPC's echo score leader, while the latter is selected as the All-Star for the first time at the age of 32. The success of the two of them proves the fierce vision of the Dodge management.
Julio Urias
If nothing unexpected happens, Three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw will also occupy a playoff starter , using his rich experience to help the team. Although this 34-year-old veteran is difficult to take more than 200 innings in a single season like he did during his peak season, in the limited number of innings, he still has an All-Star level skill. His ERA this season is only 2.44, which is quite the courage to "an old horse in the stable, and his ambition is thousands of miles away."

The ghost behind the double helix?
If you have to find any shortcomings from this Galaxy battleship that is both offensive and defensive, is probably their ability to win in a stalemate game . Whether it is the 4-8-loss playoff record, or the 1-point difference between 12-13-loss, it is not impressive for a playoff team.
As a terminator with an ERA hovering around 4, Craig Kimbrel's stability is probably the "Achilles Heel" of this team. However, how many teams can force such a powerful and experienced Dodge to fight in a hand-to-hand battle under the heavy pressure of the playoffs? Perhaps the suspense of victory or defeat was killed by Dodge's successful shot at DNA. However, it is worth mentioning that after Kimbrel replaced the famous song "Let it go", he seemed to be reborn. Since then, he has made a shot in 19 games without losing a single point in ! Can the magic of this song last until the playoffs?
