The Los Angeles Dodgers are experiencing a seven-game losing streak, with concerns raised about their bullpen's performance. Former MLB pitcher Dontrelle Willis highlighted that all seven losses featured blown leads and criticized the team's 5 ERA since July 1. The Dodgers, currently struggling with injuries, including Shohei Ohtani's knee irritation, have not won since newcomer Tarik Skubal’s start against the Chicago Cubs. With the Arizona Diamondbacks closing in, urgency is mounting for the defending World Series champions to find a solution.
