100-Win Dodgers Begin World Series Three-Peat Bid

The Dodgers enter the 2026 postseason chasing a third consecutive World Series title, a feat no National League team has achieved and only two MLB franchises have managed. They finished the regular season 100-62 after a strong late run, but that milestone comes with an ominous historical pattern: the Dodgers have not won a World Series after a 100-win season since 1975. Their first opponent will be the winner of the Braves-Phillies wild-card series, with Philadelphia entering after a late-season scare and concerns about its pitching plans. Despite the challenge and the historical caveat, sportsbooks favor Los Angeles to win the championship, ahead of the top-seeded Brewers.
