The Dodgers have a Mookie Betts problem.
The former MVP and three-time World Series champion went 0-for-4 in Wednesday’s 6-2 Game 5 loss to the Blue Jays that put the defending champions’ season on the brink.
Betts is hitting just .130 (3-for-23) with zero extra-base hits or RBIs in the World Series, and hitting just .234 with a .648 OPS across the postseason.
Moving Betts down to the No. 3 spot in the order for the first time in Game 5 of this Fall Classic could not galvanize the struggling star.
“I don’t want to speak for anybody else, but for me, personally, I’ve just been terrible,” Betts said . “I’ve been terrible and I wish it was from lack of effort, I really do, but it’s not. So, I don’t have any answers.”
