LA could probably use KD’s magic right about now . . .
Well, the Los Angeles Dodgers have really dropped the ball here. Digging themselves a very deep hole against the Boston Red Sox in the 2018 World Series, falling behind 0-2 as the series shifts to Los Angeles.
And it’s mot hard to see why when one of their star players, Kevin Durant, has quite clearly struggled for consistency.
Wait . . . what?
Kevin Durant not hitting for much power this postseason, needs some work in the cage

According to ESPN — the worldwide leader in sports — the Golden State Warrior is hitting a so-so .283 in the postseason. Not bad, but not great — it must be hard with such a big strike zone.
Still, Durant only has five RBIs and no home runs. He’s clearly lost his power stroke.
But on the basketball side of things, Durant is doing much, much, much better. He is currently averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. Adnd he’s still doing superhuman things.

It’s 100% likely we won’t ever see KD pull a Mike and trade in the Warriors for the San Francisco Giants, but just imagine that for a minute. The dude would have so much range in the outfield, you’d only need him out there.
