According to MLB insider Bob Nightengale, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated winning the division with champagne and all. However, there was an error and they still needed to win one more game to mathematically clinch the NL West. When asked, manager Dave Roberts said, “I’m pretty confident we won’t lose 23 in a row,” implying that the Dodgers will eventually clinch the division.
Now, however, the Los Angeles Dodgers need to win two games to clinch the division. Although a collapse this large is highly unlikely, it can be perceived as a bad omen to predict your team’s success prematurely.
Regardless, the Dodgers will be reaching the postseason this year and are now coasting to October. Los Angeles has had one of the best regular seasons we have seen in recent history, and they truly have been outstanding. Let’s take a look into the 2022 Dodgers season.
The 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers: A season of dominance
This season, the Dodgers truly seem unstoppable as a team. Their success can be attributed to every player on the roster stepping up this season on both sides of the field.
At the plate, the Dodgers consistently rank in the top five in every major hitting statistic. This includes being first in Major League Baseball in overall team OPS at .791. No other team in the MLB is remotely close.
On the mound, the Dodgers are one of two teams to have a team ERA of under three. They have the lowest ERA in the MLB at just a 2.86, which is outstanding when factoring in the entire squad.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are, bar none, the best team in the league this season. This postseason, the Dodgers will look to win their second World Series title in just three seasons.
