While Mookie Betts is in the middle of the worst season of his run in LA, Dave Roberts reveals why he's still sticking with the Dodgers MVP.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has swapped Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts in the batting order once again, essentially giving up on the experiment of having Betts leadoff. Betts is going through the biggest slump of his career, and Roberts tried moving the three-time champion into his more comfortable role — leadoff.

The Los Angeles Dodgers‘ offense is struggling at the moment. Over the team’slast five games, they are averaging just 2.4 runs/game and are 2-3 in that span.Since July 15th, the team has been just 7-9.
