Manager Dave Roberts is sticking with his faith in the Dodgers’ roster despite a rough stretch since the All-Star break. The team is on pace for 97 wins but has gone 20-18 since July 17, with August proving particularly difficult when facing teams above .500, per staff reporting at Dodger Blue.

The August slump against winning teams is real. We’ve left too many games on the table—games we should be winning. But Roberts isn’t hitting the panic button. He’s seen this team when it clicks, and he knows what it’s capable of when the lineup is locked in and the pitching stays sharp. The manager’s confidence matters here. It’s not blind optimism; it’s a guy who knows his roster can execute when it matters.

This is the stretch where regular season record starts to mean less and momentum means everything. We’re heading into September, and that’s when the Dodgers need to show they’ve figured out how to beat the teams that matter. Roberts is banking on that happening sooner rather than later.
