The Los Angeles Dodgers have bolstered their roster through free agency, positioning themselves as strong contenders for the 2025 World Series. Despite this added talent and their previous championship title, there's a prevailing sentiment among fans that the season's outcome feels predetermined. However, historical trends reveal that no team has successfully repeated as champions in the past 24 years. President Stan Kasten emphasizes that the team remains an underdog, as many others possess better odds. He also defends the Dodgers' competitive presence in the sport, asserting that they contribute positively to the MLB landscape.
Because of the structure of the game, we're still an underdog. Three-quarters of baseball have greater odds to win than we do, so we're going to have to do it on the field.
Nothing is automatic, especially in this sport. Especially not with the way our postseason is set up, where anything can happen.
We've been on both sides of that crucible, and still we look forward to participating every year.
A team capable of evoking intense support from its own fanbase, while also drawing equally strong hatred from everyone else, can only help.
