Dodgers: First-half review, second-half preview

DODGERS FIRST-HALF REVIEWHOW THEY GOT HERE: It's hard to imagine a better first half. There have only been a few in the franchise's history. The Dodgers reached the All-Star break with the best record in baseball (61-29), one of only four teams in the past 40 years to win 60 games before the break, with a run differential of plus-163 - that is the best in the National League at the All-Star break since the game was created in 1933 and the fourth-best overall since then.
