Dodgers Won’t Win 2026 World Series, Says Analyst
LA Times Columnist and ESPN analyst Bill Plaschke said he doesn’t think the Los Angeles Dodgers will win the World Series in 2026.
The Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series in 2025, taking down the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling seven-game series, and have only gotten better in the offseason after adding two of free agency’s biggest stars, but Plaschke isn’t convinced.
“This is suddenly an older team,” Plaschke wrote. “They’re seasoned, they’re savvy, but they’re increasingly vulnerable. Too much age can knock you flat with injuries and fatigue. Hangovers are a young person’s game. Hangovers are hell on the old timers.”
