The pitching is a concern considering the Dodgers won't be playing the Cubs in the playoffs. How the pitching does will be the key.
As my boy, mvpuig, noted Ryu might be the "x" factor. If he can go effectively this team can go far if they keep hitting. Last year they lost because they could not hit. It's been 25 years since a seven game series win. Dodgers have never won more than two games in a seven game series since because they could never hit.
As for the bullpen, assuming all Dodger starters can go 6 strong (Haren 5 strong), I think the following from the 'pen could work and give this team a fighting chance (in no particular order):
Baez, Elbert, Howell, Paco, Wright, Jansen, Wilson
The rest is total dogshit. These guys will have to take on a huge load of the work and even these clowns are a big if night in and night out.
