“Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city”
~The Lovin’ Spoonful

I’m not sure if many people thought that with Clayton Kershaw on the disabled list, the Dodgers would be able to make up 3.5 games on the Giants. 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. Three games is not that big a bridge to gap over the next two months, especially since the Giants have a much tougher schedule than the Dodgers through the remainder of the second half.
