Editor's note: After a busy first half of the 2016 MLB season, Joe Peta is here to take a look at both the good and bad for all 30 teams, along with project the second half from a betting perspective. This is the entry for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Records reflect all games played through Sunday. All statistics are through each team's 81st game. Season-to-date pricing adds the implied win probability from the money line of each team's first 81 games and converts it to 162 games.


Los Angeles Dodgers

Vegas projection: 89.5 wins
My projection: 93 wins
Current record/race: 51-40 (91-win pace)
Season-to-date pricing: 94.0 wins
