The Dodgers have really picked it up after their 16-26 start, reminding us of last year. But there are still aspects that can be improved upon for the team to reach its full potential and become a juggernaut again.

Last year’s Dodgers team was simply a juggernaut, no way around it. You don’t go 104-58 with a historic 43-7 run in the midst of it without being an absolute giant. Fans expected something similar this year, but realistically, it was not going to happen.

The team lost some key components, namely Brandon Morrow, Yu Darvish, and Tony Watson. But that did not mean the team could not win 95+ games again. But after their slow start, even 90 wins would be a great success. But their ceiling is amongst the best in the game.

They have gone on another impressive run, this time 22-8 in their last 30 games. But they have done this with weaknesses still being prevalent, holding them back from coming close to last year’s form.

You can always point to improvements anywhere, but for the most part, almost everyone is doing their part. Here are three things that need to change, however, for the Dodgers to reach their full potential and ensure sixth straight NL West title.
