The Dodgers, who have consistently been one of baseball’s strongest teams for the past decade, will put up a NL West pennant in Dodger Stadium for the eighth consecutive season after their 2020 triumph, the third-best streak of all time. Only the Atlanta Braves (14) and the New York Yankees (9) have taken first place in their division in more consecutive seasons than the Dodgers.

Los Angeles, whose record currently sits at 39-16, which will almost certainly end up being the best regular season mark in MLB, has gotten standout performances from its pitching staff and most of its lineup staples to establish themselves as one of the favorites to bring home the World Series crown.

The Dodgers’ 121 wRC+ means that they have had baseball’s second-best offense this season, behind only the Atlanta Braves, while its pitching staff has combined to post an excellent 3.04 ERA, the best mark in all of baseball.

The Dodgers will now wait to see which team will be the last to qualify for the NL playoffs, as the #8 seed will be their first round playoff opponent.

On Tuesday night, over two weeks before the end of the regular season, the Dodgers answered that question at Camden Yards with a 7-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

The Dodgers have won the division in every season since 2013, moving their streak of division titles to seven consecutive seasons. Los Angeles, which looks poised to win home-field advantage in the playoffs with the league’s best record, has been a dominant team throughout the entire season.

LA has seemingly been hot all season, with Cy Young candidate Hyun-jin Ryu leading their pitching staff and NL MVP candidate Cody Bellinger pacing one of the league’s best offenses. The Dodgers have been a team with few weaknesses since the season kicked off in late March, and they’ve now ridden their depth and talent to yet another NL West title.

Young standout Walker Buehler fired a gem for the Dodgers on Tuesday, striking out 11 and allowing zero runs over seven dominant innings. Corey Seager hit a pair of home runs to lead the Dodgers to victory, sending them to a euphoric celebration in the Camden Yards visitor’s clubhouse.

LA will now look to stay healthy and get ready for the playoffs in the season’s final weeks.
