The Dodgers once again boasted one of the better bullpens in the Majors last season, collectively ranking second in ERA (3.38), FIP (3.67) and third in FanGraphs’ WAR (24.3).

Leading the way was Kenley Jansen, who enjoyed a career year behind a National League-best 41 saves, 1.32 ERA, 1.31 FIP and 14.4 strikeouts per nine over 68.1 frames.

He supplanted Andrew Miller as MLB The Show 18’s highest-rated reliever, with the latter now ranked No. 2 among relief pitchers at 91 overall. The Boston Red Sox’s Craig Kimbrel follows him at third on the list (87), while Aroldis Chapman (85) and Roberto Osuna (84) finish out the top-five.

The Houston Astros’ Ken Giles finds himself at No. 6 with an 82 mark, while Dellin Betances (82) falls to the seventh spot after ranking second in 2017. His teammate, Chad Green, also with an 82 overall, Brad Hand (81) and Felipe Rivero (81) round out the top-10.
