It’s not even July, and the National League West race might already be won for the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers.

Are we sure that’s a good thing?

On the latest episode of the Dodgers Post podcast, that’s what California Post baseball writers Dylan Hernandez and Jack Harris are discussing, as they analyze the latest news around the team amid its continued dominant run of form.

Dylan and Jack discuss the implications of what could be a mostly meaningless second-half of the season for the club, and agree that (unlike some past years) it might actually be a good thing for the Dodgers this time around.

They also dive into Mookie Betts’ recent hot streak, and why having the old Mookie back could be a major development for the team’s pursuit of a third-straight World Series.

Later, they revisit the Shohei Ohtani-Dalton Rushing saga, after Jack’s interview with Rushing over the weekend in which the catcher took ownership of his emotional outburst with the two-way star. Later, they also go over viewer comments on the situation, and what Ohtani’s role in the drama is.

Finally, they finish with predictions and trivia. Also, Dylan recounts a wild story about former Dodger Esteban Loaiza.

All that and more, on the latest episode of Dodgers Post.
