"I've been covering baseball for almost 25 years now and I don't know if there's a team that I have covered that has been as distinct a favorite to win the World Series as the Dodgers are this year."
"The Boys in Blue are back-to-back World Series champions, and they enter 2026 as the clear favorites to take home the title again. Whether the Dodgers can keep up the championship-level baseball is yet to be seen, but if they pull off the three-peat, they'll be doing something baseball hasn't seen since the year 2000."
The Los Angeles Dodgers organization is experiencing a baby boom among its roster. Clayton Kershaw and his wife welcomed their fifth child, Chloe Peach Kershaw, late last year. Max Muncy and his wife announced the birth of their daughter, Macie Grace Muncy, in January. Kike Hernandez and his wife welcomed their second child, Santiago Jose Hernandez, in February. Additionally, Kyle Tucker and his wife are expecting their first child during spring training, and Freddie Freeman and his wife are expecting their fourth child. Meanwhile, the Dodgers enter 2026 as clear World Series favorites following back-to-back championships. ESPN analyst Jeff Passan noted the team's exceptional status as a favorite, stating he has rarely covered a team with such distinct championship expectations in his 25-year career.
