The Los Angeles Dodgers are loading up with the signings of Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow.
Here is a look at the projected Dodgers lineup and pitching rotation.
Los Angeles Dodgers projected lineup
The top of the Dodgers’ order is second to none. Mookie Betts has a .408 on-base percentage and will be the perfect man to set the table for Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani.
Will Smith and Max Muncy are solid in the middle of the order, but at the bottom, there will be questions. The Dodgers need Jason Heyward to do what he did last season, and they need James Outman to be more consistent.
Still, this is a lineup good enough to win a championship.

Los Angeles Dodgers projected pitching rotation
The Dodgers should put Yoshinobu Yamamoto at the top of the rotation. He has a dominant splitter and a nasty curveball.
After that, Walker or Glasnow, two pitchers hoping to stay healthy, are up, then two guys coming off their rookies seasons, Bobby Miller and Emmet Sheehan.
