Currently, the LA Dodgers are playing the best baseball in MLB. With players like Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershaw, and Freddie Freeman by their side, the Dodgers are dominating the National League this season. Under the guidance of visionary manager Dave Roberts, the Dodgers have been the title favorite from the start of the season.
Although the NL side ended the first half of the 2022 MLB season on a pleasant note, they are playing even better in the second half. With Mookie Betts leading from the front, the Dodgers completed their second series sweep after the All-Star break. And both came against their division rivals, the San Francisco Giants.

He tried to mock the Dodgers by hitting their celebration. And guess what? The Giants pitcher paid the price of mocking the Dodgers.
After the win, the Dodgers’ lead batters, Mookie Betts and Trea Turner roasted the Giants uniquely. From the visuals, it seemed like Betts, with his teammates, was grinding the Giants. The video is doing rounds on the internet.
