The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the 2025 season with high expectations after their World Series victory in 2024.
After winning World Series title No. 8 last season, the Dodgers were poised to make another run this season.
The Dodgers started the season strong, but came crashing down to earth in the middle of the season. Injuries to the pitching staff were the leading cause, allowing San Diego to close the gap in the division.
Los Angeles started September with a five-game losing streak, but closed the season on a five-game winning streak and held off a late surge by the San Diego Padres.
