The Dodgers still have the second best record in baseball through Tuesday, but it’s been clear to fans that things are very off with this team.

You can point to any number of things — the 14 players on the IL, bats going cold — but they look like a far cry from the team that started the season 8-0, which was the best early record of any defending World Series team in history.

After a 3-1 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday, the Dodgers had officially lost their last five games, including an absolutely brutal sweep at the hands of the Astros, who forced the Dodgers to endure the worst home loss in Dodger Stadium’s history.

Even Dave Roberts, a guy who is sometimes perhaps too optimistic, couldn’t find a silver lining for the Dodgers’ slide.

“Shoot, I don’t think there’s a team in baseball that’s at full strength,” he said. “I just feel that with the guys we have, we just have to play better. We’ve got to pitch better, We’ve got to defend better, we’ve got to take more competitive at-bats. And we’re just not doing any of those things right now.”

On Wednesday, they dropped their sixth in a row after blowing a late lead in Milwaukee. Nothing’s going right at the moment.

Dodgers’ losing streak increases to five games after Tuesday’s loss to Brewers

In some cases, it feels like the Dodgers’ luck is just running out. Carousel relievers picked up on waivers or minor trades are getting absolutely beaten into the ground (see: Noah Davis giving up 10 earned runs in 1 1/3 innings against the Astros). But the Dodgers don’t really have better options, given all of the injuries. Yes, the Dodgers have burnished their reputation for redeeming pitchers that seem like lost causes, but that can’t always be the case.

Mookie Betts has been coming out of his worrisome slump, but Freddie Freeman is still struggling to do the same, and even Shohei Ohtani has become mired in one over his last seven games. Kiké Hernández and Max Muncy recently hit the IL.

Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernández have both had scares. Michael Conforto has never been good and isn’t improving. Will Smith is the only mainstay in the Dodgers’ lineup who has both stayed uninjured and doesn’t seem to be slowing down at the plate.

Opposing fans might swiftly reject the idea that the Dodgers are currently in a tough spot, especially because of their .596 winning percentage, but Dodgers fans can tell that something is off with this team right now. If not even Roberts can find something to compliment his team about, then something’s definitely wrong.
