Sunday's game in Colorado was the Dodgers' 54th game of the season, meaning the season is a third complete. Even with the last week filled with losses, the Dodgers have still had quite a start to their season. With 33 wins, they have their second-best 54-game of the last 30 years, behind only the 2009 team that ended up winning 95 games.
Here is a look back at the first 54 games of each of the last four seasons:
| Year | W-L | Runs For | Runs Allowed | BA/OBP/SLG | ERA |
| 2012 | 33-21 | 232 (4.30/gm) | 199 (3.69/gm) | .269/.342/.405 | 3.27 |
| 2011 | 24-30 | 187 (3.46/gm) | 226 (4.19/gm) | .248/.312/.360 | 3.99 |
| 2010 | 31-23 | 254 (4.70/gm) | 246 (4.56/gm) | .264/.331/.403 | 3.98 |
| 2009 | 36-18 | 295 (5.46/gm) | 208 (3.85/gm) | .285/.367/.414 | 3.75 |
The Dodgers are scoring nearly a run more per game than they did at this time last year.
