The Padres will be an offensive dynamo, but are they complete enough to knock the Dodgers from their mantle?
Max Muncy. If the lefty slugger rediscovers his form, then the losses of free agents Trea Turner and Justin Turner will be much easier to absorb.

He was dreadful through July, hitting just .161, before he showed glimpses of his former self the final two months of last season. A healthy and hitting Muncy would be bad news for the rest of the division.
James Outman. The outfielder with an unfortunate surname is one of the young sluggers on whom the Dodgers are banking. The 25-year-old drilled 31 minor league home runs last season, made a strong, four-game MLB debut and could catch on with the Dodgers quickly.Can the kids keep the juggernaut humming?
