With the offense struggling and and only having 3 starters it does look good for the Giants NL West hopes. Dodgers dominate against the Padres and DBacks growing their lead in the NL West to 6 games with 2 months to go. Their Trade deadline moves are paying off and with big names coming back off the IL things are looking good for the boys in blue
