Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is a tough grader.
On the day the Dodgers pummeled the hapless and hopeless Angels again to become the first National League team to win 60 games, he gave his team an A-minus for its performance during the first half of the season.
That's for compiling a .667 winning percentage leading into the All-Star break, second in team history only to the .678 pre-All Star win percentage recorded by the 2017 Dodgers. They're 9½ games ahead of San Diego in the NL West, a fat cushion that should spare them a repeat of last season's wild-card drama, and they have the second-best record in the major leagues, behind only the New York Yankees (63-28, .692).
