Mookie Betts posts offensive gains as Los Angeles Dodgers approach postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts has recorded a significant rise in offensive performance over the past three weeks. Since August 19, Betts has reached base in every game he has played, leading the team with a 162 wRC+ during that period. His recent output includes two home runs and 12 RBIs in the last two weeks, alongside eight hits and seven RBIs through the first five games of September. This resurgence mirrors a similar late-season improvement from the 2025 campaign when he also overcame early-season offensive struggles. The Dodgers, currently holding the third seed in the National League, look to maintain this momentum as they prepare for a potential Wild Card berth. Betts continues to serve as a primary contributor to the Los Angeles offense as the team moves toward the postseason.
