Editor’s note: This is the Monday, June 8 edition of the Inside the Dodgers newsletter. To receive the newsletter in your inbox, sign up here.The Dodgers reached the halfway point of their regular season on June 25. Today is not the halfway point of 2019, regular season and/or playoffs.It is the All-Star Break, however, so you will be bombarded with an assault of references to the first and second “half” in the days to come. Just roll with it. The Dodgers have played 92 games, and won 60. With two exceptions, they’ve never lost more than two games in a row. There has been more good than bad. Today’s newsletter takes a look at the major takeaways from their first 92 games:1. The big picture looks really good. The Baseball Gauge offers a useful snapshot, in bar-graph form, of how each team compares to the rest of the league in a variety of categories. At a glance, we can see the Dodgers are not merely a good team. They do almost everything at an elite level – hit, pitch, field – except for steal bases. (Darn!) Dave Roberts has never been an aggressive base-stealing manager, but the Dodgers are still a good baserunning team by FanGraphs WAR, so it’s more likely that the Dodgers’ main offensive shortcoming is a byproduct of strategic choice rather than ability.There are other shortcomings. The big-picture snapshot tells us these shortcomings can be minimized, and mostly have been. Yes, the Dodgers’ bullpen is poor by the most useful metrics, but their starters are pitching deeper into games than all but one team, and pitching well. Yes, their catchers have struggled to hit, but there are eight players with more plate appearances in 2019 than Austin Barnes and Russell Martin. Barnes has never batted higher than seventh, Martin never higher than sixth. They’ve been consistently buried deep in the lineup, and liberally substituted out for baseball’s best bench, making this a minor weakness in the grand scheme of the season.It might be difficult to convince yourself that “Dodger problems are good problems to have” when the same problems keep re-appearing over and over again. Take a moment to look at the big picture. It doesn’t take a miracle for a team with the Dodgers’ weaknesses to have baseball’s best record – by actual, first-order, second-order and third-order winning percentage.2. Joe Kelly’s incentive clauses look somewhat attainable.Joe Kelly will receive a quarter-million dollars if he finishes 30 games this season. A month ago, we all would have enjoyed a good laugh about that possibility. Now? I find myself reflecting more and more on Kelly’s incentive clauses. The Dodgers’ bullpen has been problematic, and any conversation in this arena begins with their closer, Kenley Jansen, and Kelly, the de facto “top set-up man.” Jansen is 23 for 26 in save opportunities with a respectable 3.19 earned-run average. His ERA+ (132) and his FIP (3.45) represent improvements over 2018. He is not in danger of losing his closer’s job – not soon, at least – but he has also left room for improvement.Kelly was an unmitigated disaster for two-plus months. In the last three weeks, since he simplified his pitch mix, Kelly has pitched the way the Dodgers were hoping when they signed him to a contract of at least three years and $25 million. Anything counts as progress for a pitcher who awoke the morning of June 10 with a 7.59 ERA, but Kelly’s last three weeks have been refreshingly dominant.Jansen’s surface stats are fine, yet he ranks 67th among all relief pitchers in Win Probability Added – not where you want to find your closer. I can foresee a momentum shift here, and the incentive clauses in Kelly’s contract suggest both he and the Dodgers viewed all of this as a possibility at some point between 2019 and 2021. And then there’s the looming trade deadline. Don’t ask me who I think will be closing for the Dodgers on Oct. 1. That’s too good a question to provide an answer on July 8.3. Clayton Kershaw’s incentive clauses look remarkably attainable.There’s nothing especially revealing about Kershaw’s incentive clauses. They’re lucrative but justifiable for a pitcher of Kershaw’s stature and injury history: $1 million each for 24, 26, 28 and 30 starts; $1.5 million for a Cy Young Award; $500,000 for finishing second or third in the final Cy Young tally. They’re worth reflecting on, for me, because of Kershaw’s spring training. He basically didn’t have one. A shoulder injury prevented him from appearing in any Cactus League games and, eventually, from making his ninth consecutive Opening Day start.Back in March, the range of possibilities for Kershaw’s 2019 season seemed vast. If the top-end projection looked something like 29 starts and a 159 ERA+ (an average Kershaw season pre-2019) he’s closer to the top than the bottom. He’ll make 29 starts if he pitches every fifth day between now and the end of the season. His 135 ERA+ would be his lowest since 2010 – poor for Kershaw, excellent for a number-3 MLB starter.No matter how different Kershaw is pitching compared to his prime, just remember: his durability has already blown past his projections, and his performance is around 70th-percentile stuff (according to PECOTA). Like Kelly, Kershaw will be richer at year’s end than you probably figured in April. He’s a good bet to pass Pee Wee Reese and Don Drysdale and become the franchise WAR leader this season.4. Maybe the depth … isn’t that bad?I recently used this space to lament the Dodgers’ depth in the 25-through-40 region of the 40-man roster. Thanks to the usual Andrew Friedman machinations, the Dodgers have already used 39 different players this season. Of those 39, 28 have performed at or above replacement level. The number-1 player by WAR is the MVP favorite, and the number-25 player is, at the moment, Edwin Rios. That will change soon. A.J. Pollock, Corey Seager and David Freese will likely be the team’s biggest July acquisitions. The surprising contributions of Rios and Kyle Garlick (who were optioned to Triple-A today), and perhaps Matt Beaty, will be gone but not forgotten if they spend most of the second half in Oklahoma City. This is still a relatively top-heavy roster, but the front office is more than merely making it work.5. Miscellany.Joc Pederson’s first base experiment might have been too little, too late. … Max Muncy’s 3.4 bWAR ranks third on the Dodgers but enough to lead 14 major league teams. … Justin Turner has been playing a Hall of Fame-caliber third base since he turned 29, and that hasn’t changed in 2019. … Dino Ebel has been an excellent third base coach. … My favorite story of the first half? How Will Smith ended up with the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” theme song as his walk-up track.-J.P.Editor’s note: Thank you for reading the Monday, June 8 edition of the Inside the Dodgers newsletter.
