And after hitting an absurd pinnacle that coincided with the Tarik Skubal trade, FanGraphs has dialed back the Dodgers' World Series odds:August 1: 31.4%31.4% August 11: 23.1%If these numbers are good for anything, they're for capturing real anxieties for Dodgers fans who are holding out hope for a World Series three-peat.
