Middle Ball

As you'd expect with a strong bullpen and a strong bench, the Dodgers do better than their opponents late in the game. But the team's real dominance seems to come in the middle innings.

2004 Dodgers Linescore

Dodgers     65 58 75   86 84 83   62 61 50   12 - 636
Opponents   82 68 72   63 57 57   41 60 40   06 - 546

The Dodgers are 33-43 when their opponent scores first. This strikes me, without doing any research, as a pretty good record. The only question I'd have is whether Dodgers opponents are scoring first too often - 76 times in 136 games.
