The deal will have no affect on which team wins the NL West. Boston wasn't winning with these guys and neither will the Dodgers. Moving from the American League to the National League is a big change particularly this late in the season. The Giants and their fans, yours truly included, are laughing at all the moves the Dodgers have made and their only getting worse. Not even sure they land one of the two wild card spots.

I said nothing about the playoffs. I watch every game the Giants play and following the suspension of Melky Cabrera, this team has come together like they did in August and September of 2010 only they have better hitting and their pitchers have 2 more years of experience. Nobody thought they would win then and nobody gives them a chance now. All they did was beat Atlanta 3-1, Philadelphia 4-2 and Texas 4-1. The Giants have now gone 7-1 and 5 in a row. Good pitching beats good hitting everyday of the week and the Giants have not only the starters but middle relievers and closers by committee. The Nationals are the only team that matches them in starting pitching. The Dodgers are average in that area and their bats are hot and cold. Mark my word, the Giants will run away with the NL West and the Dodgers may or may not make the playoffs.
