The Dodgers and the Mariners recently met for an inter-league showdown. Both teams are in 3rd place in their respective divisions, both excel with the long-ball, and both organizations would be devastated if the playoffs were suddenly out of their picture.

I know, it won’t happen to us, Dodgers fans!  But, I wanted to watch the series and get a feel for where the Dodgers are at as a team. If any series were built for this form of analyzation, it was this one. It had everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
