43-7 The 2017 Dodgers Historic 50 Game Run

43-7. Amazing run. From June 7th to August 5th, 2017, the Dodgers were nearly unbeatable. They lost two games in a row once. Not even the 2022 team that won 111 games went on a run like that. No Dodger team ever has. By August 5th, they had a 14.5-game lead in the NL West. It would go up to 15.5 when they beat the Mets 8-0 behind Ryu the next day. They would eventually win the division by 11 games; at one point, on August 22nd, their lead reached 21 games. A 4, then an 11-game losing streak in September, and a 5-game streak of losses in August prevented them from being more than a 104-win team.
