"The Los Angeles Dodgers are perfectly positioned to make some history in 2026, especially since they are the odds-on favorite to win the World Series again. While there is no clear, outright record that the Dodgers can break, they will enter the rarified air of some of the great dynasties in baseball. The modern-day Dodgers are a dynasty and powerhouse, but there are levels to greatness, and the top is no different. Here are some milestones, benchmarks, and records that Los Angeles can reach."
"The Dodgers captured the 2024 and 2025 World Series, their third title in six years. Now, they can do something special. Since the New York Yankees won three straight championships from 1998 to 2000, there has not been another team to do so. Repeating greatness year after year is the hardest thing to do in any sport, but especially baseball. The Dodgers are on the cusp of matching the great Yankee teams of the turn of the century- all it requires is a 2026 title."
"If the Dodgers stay healthy, they should make the playoffs, either through a wild-card berth or an outright division win. Another playoff run would have the Dodgers' current streak of 13 straight postseason appearances grow to 14, tying the Atlanta Braves' record, who made the playoffs from 1991 to 2005. Maintaining this level of success is extremely rare, and it goes to show the level that Andrew Friedman and the organization have maintained through continued youth development, undervalued pickups, and roster investments."
The Dodgers won the 2024 and 2025 World Series and can complete a three-peat with a 2026 championship. A 2026 playoff appearance would extend their postseason streak from 13 to 14 straight seasons, tying the Atlanta Braves' record from 1991–2005. The organization has sustained success through youth development, undervalued pickups, and roster investments under Andrew Friedman. The single-season wins record for the Dodgers stands at 111, set in 2022, and is attainable if key players remain healthy and the bullpen rebounds. Maintaining player health through the regular season remains crucial for postseason readiness.
