Now, we’re all well aware of how dominant the Dodgers have been this 2022 season. The team set a new franchise record of 111-51, led the league for the lowest team ERA of 2.80, and scored the most runs (847) amongst all 30 teams. But all that means nothing if they can’t finish the season with a ring.
We asked fans what they’re most worried about going into the postseason and here are some of the responses.
Bats go cold… simple as that

Offense goes through a cold spell. Pitching should be good, and I like the offense, but postseason baseball is unpredictable.

We’ve seen this happen a few times this season where our pitching staff puts out a phenomenal performance yet the Dodgers’ offense is just unable to make contact with the ball.
For example, in Anderson’s latest performance where he produced 10 strikeouts across his 6 innings, he still collected a loss because the bats failed to show up.
So, I agree. When the Dodgers are on, they’re absolutely terrifying, especially through the top of their lineup led by All-Stars Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Freddie Freeman.
Bullpen!!! Nothing worse than the bottom of the 9th with a 1 run lead, I fear that scenario.

This is also a valid concern as the Dodgers have still yet to name who their closer will be for the postseason after demoting Craig Kimbrel. Could Roberts change his mind and bring the experienced pitcher back or does he plan to utilize players like Treinen and May who are just returning from some injuries?
But then, you also have fans who have full faith that their team will come out on top and get their perfect ending to an incredible season.
No fear. Our team is amazing and works together throughout each game. Full disclosure, my fear is that I won’t be able to afford to come to a game. ??????????????

Nothing – I fully expect them to win the WS. This team seems ready.

The Dodgers have put in the work and have proved they’re the team to beat this October but they’ll just have to make sure to take it one game at a time, inning by inning and not get sloppy or gassed out by the end such as last year.
