As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers are facing some intriguing storylines, particularly surrounding Mookie Betts. After a challenging bout with illness that saw him lose nearly 20 pounds, Betts is set to make his return to the lineup for the final spring training game against the Angels. This raises some compelling questions for us as fans and analysts.

How do you think Betts' health will impact the Dodgers' performance this season? Will he be able to regain his form quickly, or could lingering effects from his illness hinder his play?

Moreover, with Dave Roberts calling this the most talented roster he's ever had, what are your bold predictions for the Dodgers this season? Can they defend their title successfully, or do you see potential pitfalls that could derail their championship aspirations?

And let's not forget about the lineup itself. With Shohei Ohtani leading off as the DH and Betts playing shortstop, how do you feel about the strategic decisions being made? Is this the right move for Betts, or should he be eased back into the game in a less demanding position?

Join the conversation! Share your thoughts on Betts' return, the Dodgers' chances this season, and any predictions you have for the upcoming games. What are you most excited to see as we head into Opening Day?
