The Los Angeles Dodgers have bolstered their roster in the offseason, aiming to become the first team in over two decades to win back-to-back World Series championships. Projections suggest they may achieve the best record in baseball, with some optimistic about breaking historic MLB win records. However, players from opposition teams, such as the Arizona Diamondbacks, acknowledge the level playing field in baseball, emphasizing that any team can win on any given night despite perceived disparities in talent. This perceived prowess amplifies the pressure on the Dodgers to consistently perform.
I think there's just a lot of nuances that go on in baseball. In the other sports, it's like, if you have a more talented team in the NFL or purely more talent in the NBA, nine times out of 10 you're going to beat the other team.
Do they have the upper hand on paper going into most series? I would say yeah. But it's baseball. Any night anybody might be feeling not like themselves on the mound or in the box and literally anybody has a chance any night.
Obviously they're really good players, but there's pressure that comes with that. They're expected to win every night. If they go on a four-game losing streak, it's going to be like everything is going up in flames.
Pressure makes everything a little harder to deal with.
