The Los Angeles Dodgers are already facing challenges as they gear up for the 2025 season, with two key pitchers, Michael Kopech and Evan Phillips, expected to start the season on the injured list. This raises some intriguing questions about the team's depth and resilience.
With Kopech's impressive 1.13 ERA last season and Phillips' experience, their absence could be felt significantly. However, the Dodgers have bolstered their bullpen with the addition of Tanner Scott and another All-Star reliever. This situation begs the question: can the Dodgers maintain their championship caliber without these two pitchers, or will their depth be tested in ways we haven't seen before?
Moreover, how do you think the shift to a more lefty-heavy bullpen will impact their strategy against right-handed hitters? Will this be a tactical advantage or a potential liability?
As we look ahead, what are your bold predictions for the Dodgers this season? Will they be able to overcome these early setbacks and make another deep playoff run, or is this the beginning of a more challenging season than expected?
