When Manager Dave Roberts was asked, “how challenging is it keeping the team focused and motivated, and not taking their talent for granted, while being the NL favorite to reach the World Series?’ LAD Manager, Dave Roberts replied by reminding us that the Atlanta Braves have the best record in the NL and stating that LA was labeled as more of a “dark horse”. He also said, “we take it one game at a time, never taking the team's talent for granted”.
