After a long offseason, opening day is just around the corner for the Los Angeles Dodgers. As the days lead up, an intriguing experiment is projecting how many wins the Dodgers can accumulate this season. Last year they won a franchise record 106 games, with arguably less talent than they have now.
To help answer this question, I employed the help of Out of the Park Baseball’s simulator engine with updated rosters. I simulated the 2020 season ten different times to gain a decent sample size, and the results were definitely notable. (Each simulation takes quite a bit of time, so sadly getting a truly large sample size such as 100 simulations, wasn’t viable).
