Over the past 12 seasons, the Los Angeles Dodgers have maintained a dominant position in the National League West, often facing limited competition. Although some seasons saw closer races, such as the Giants' and Rockies' challenges, the division overall has been relatively weak. The 2024 season marked a turning point with both the Padres and Diamondbacks performing strongly, nearly achieving a three-team postseason representation. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts predicts a fierce competition for the NL West title in the coming seasons, acknowledging the resurgence of other teams in the division.
