In this weekend edition: After finishing in second place last season with 106 wins, the Dodgers are favorites to win the NL West this year.

This week on on AirTalk, FOX Sports national baseball writer Pedro Moura joined Larry Mantle to discuss his new book, “How to Beat a Broken Game: The Rise of the Dodgers in a League on the Brink.”
