Where is the Dodger's pitching?

It's there but it's not really there yet. The Dodgers have been scrutinized for not upgrading their pitching in the off season while all the other top NL competitors did. Some of this has to be blamed on the McCourt divorce situation. The Dodgers chose to stay with almost the same pitching they had last season and hope that one of their starters evolves into an ace, mainly Chad Billingsley or Clayton Kershaw.

After more than 10 games into the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball but one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. The return of Belisario & Kuo will help ease the strain in the bullpen, which was the best in baseball last year. I have high hopes for the Dodgers, but everyone knows pitching is what wins championships. I hope their pitching wakes up or changes need to be made.
