Dodgers’ depth is driving their playoff surge. Bottom-of-order contributors Teoscar Hernández, Kiké Hernández, Andy Pages and Tommy Edman have been pivotal, pounding the Brewers with timely hits and driving 14 RBIs on 35 total hits through eight games, while the top five bats slumped to .235. The miscues-free, pressure-filled approach across 1-9 has produced a 2-0 NLCS lead, with Ohtani, Betts and Freeman not carrying alone but supported by a relentless, multi-weapon attack.
