The Dodgers have won six of their last seven games, and after Thursday's getaway day win in Philadelphia the club has played 108 games, meaning the season is two-thirds done. At 62-46, the Dodgers are on pace for 93 wins.
Through 108 games in 2014, the Dodgers were 61-47, and in 2013 they were 59-49.
Here is a breakdown of the 2015 season in thirds, with the second 54-game stretch compared to the first 54 games.
2015 | W-L | Runs For | Runs Allowed | BA/OBP/SLG | ERA |
1st 54 Games | 31-23 | 245 (4.54/gm) | 195 (3.61/gm) | .261/.339/.450 | 3.44 |
2nd 54 Games | 31-23 | 207 (3.83/gm) | 191 (3.54/gm) | .249/.320/.404 | 3.33 |

We hit the outfield next, which as a group took a dump over the last 54 games. Joc Pederson and Alex Guerrero were insanely productive in the first 54 games but fell off a cliff in the second third of the season. Andre Ethier and Yasiel Puig were both okay in the second 54 games, but just okay, and both worse than the start of the year.

Now to the bullpen, which had a healthy Kenley Jansen for all 54 games, but outside of a few others nearly everyone was substantially worse in the second 54 games than in the first.
