While Mookie Betts is in the middle of the worst season of his run in LA, Dave Roberts reveals why he's still sticking with the Dodgers MVP.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has swapped Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts in the batting order once again, essentially giving up on the experiment of having Betts leadoff. Betts is going through the biggest slump of his career, and Roberts tried moving the three-time champion into his more comfortable role — leadoff.

Mookie Betts is in an offensive slump, but he still has the LA Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts', confidence. Despite being promoted to the leadoff spot, Betts' slump is far from over, with the shortstop going hitless in his last 20 plate appearances across five games.
