Dave Roberts: Corey Seager & Will Smith Taking Quality Plate Appearances, But Dodgers Need More Collectively

Although the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup boasts superstar-level players up and down the lineup, their offense has been inconsistent throughout much of the 2021 regular season.

Some of their slumps have been due to the injuries, however, since Aug. 1, which is right around when the team started to get healthy, their offense ranks 16th of the 30 clubs with 145 runs scored backed by a meager .232/.315/.418 batting line and 100 wRC+.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted part of the problem is the team hasn’t consistently worked as a cohesive unit in their approach at the plate, but he did credit Corey Seager and Will Smith for producing quality plate appearances.
