Entering the 2021 MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers (+350) were listed as the favorite to win the World Series. They ultimately fell short of their responsibility as title favorites, losing 4-2 to the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS. Title-favorite Los Angeles enters the 2022 season with slightly larger odds this time around (+475 on DraftKings), with no team coming …
A new book from Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster, Tim Neverett, has arrived! Highlighted by empty stands, remote broadcasts, and relentless testing, 2020 was perhaps the strangest baseball season ever, but it also produced the most savored World Series celebration in the history of the game. As America’s Pastime reeled from a global pandemic, the LA Dodgers rallied to win arguably …
60. That is the magic number for all 30 teams right now. That number used to be a significant number to achieve for home runs in a monster season. Now, it’s all that separates a mediocre team or a star-studded one from capping the season with a dogpile on the field after the final out has been made. But, is …

The biggest difference between this year and the previous two is this season ended much sooner than expected. The Dodgers were expected to cruise into the World Series. They were the deepest team, …
After wrapping up their seventh consecutive NL West crown, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated. It was a subdued one, but a celebration nonetheless. It’s a sense of accomplishment, a 162-game grind while coming out on top in your respective division. It is certainly worth popping bottles and the champagne shower that only six division-winning teams get to share at some …

The Dodgers became the first team to 20 wins this season when they knocked off the San Francisco Giants in a blowout Tuesday night. That is not a stat to just brush aside.
