Who’s Next in Line for a Dodgers’ Rotation Spot?

Rumor Has It
“All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just ’cause I said it, it don’t mean that I meant it,

But since the All-Star break, that’s just what they’ve done. As of today, the Dodgers sit just three games back of the rivals to the North.
