Can the Dodgers make the playoffs with the acquisition of Nolasco

With the acquisition of Ricky Nolasco earlier today it shows the Dodgers are in win now mode and they should be. Right now they are 41-44 but 3.5 games back in the division. They are definitely in the playoff hunt and need to win a lot more games in the second half to be a great team.

 The acquisition of Ricky Nolasco really helps their cause and makes them a legitimate contender. He had a pretty good ERA of 3.58 and has a 3.99 ERA against the NL West. He is probably one of the most underrated pitchers in the games right now and being on a dismal Miami team doesn't help either.

My projections for Nolasco? I think he will do pretty well with a pretty good offense to support him.

My projected LA Rotation now:
Kershaw
Greinke
Ryu
Nolasco
Fife
with Chris Capuano moving to the 'pen
