Baseball Notes: The Favored L.A. Dodgers Off to Good Start

The 2014 Major League baseball season began in Australia and the top rated Los Angeles Dodgers got off to a good start.

L.A. won both games vs the Arizona Diamondbacks and will play in the next game scheduled, this Sunday night, at San Diego, vs the Padres.

The Dodgers “perceived” wins total of 93 is the highest in the major leagues and they are only two and half to one to win the National League pennant. They are considered the favorites in the N.L. by a fairly wide margin.

Last year, after struggling early on, the Dodgers went on an amazing run around the All Star Game and eased to the N.L. West crown.

They beat the Atlanta Braves in the division series three games to one. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Dodgers four games to two in the NLCS.
