However, I know what you are thinking, that is only 1½ games better than their 2013 42-8 run so this must happen all the time. And they even shot out in front of the Astros, leading them by eight games. Not only that, they would have a 13 game lead of the Nationals for best record in the league. At the end of that run, they would have a 15½ game lead in the NL West. I say all that because the 2017 Dodgers were about to go on a 44-7 run. A rough calculation of winning 17.5 games out of 30 would get around 95 wins. Winning six of out ten games would get you about 97 wins in the regular season. Before they started play on June 7, 2017, they were 35-25, just two games back of the Colorado Rockies.Įven very good Major League Baseball teams don’t win 100 games in a season. In 2017, the Dodgers were 10-12 before they won 25 of their next 38 games to get to ten games over. When those 50 games were over, the Dodgers had a 8½ game lead.īut the 2013 Dodgers were 30-42 when they started that run, they had not played well yet.
The 2013 Dodgers were 8½ games back when they went 42-8 over their next 50 games. Well there were two, the 2013 Dodgers and the 2017 Dodgers. Their record after the first 63 games is tied with the 19 Dodgers for the best record at this point in Los Angeles franchise history.Īnd because the 2019 Dodgers are on pace to win 110 games, it is hard to think of another recent Dodger team that could be playing even better at some point during their season. The 2019 Dodgers are 43-20 with a 10-game lead in the National League West.
