Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are on pace for a little over 113 wins this season, which would shatter their franchise record of 106, which they’ve reached in each of the last two 162-game seasons.
If the team’s final 39 games go the way their most recent 39 went, they’d go 31-8 and finish the season with 117 wins. That would be a record, passing the 1906 Cubs and the 2001 Mariners.
What do the 2021 Dodgers, 2019 Dodgers, 2001 Mariners, and 1906 Cubs have in common, besides winning a ton of regular-season games? That’s right, none of them won the World Series.
