The Dodgers are in uncharted territory when it comes to this year’s postseason. While they’ve made the postseason every year since Major League Baseball expanded the postseason field in 2022, they’ve always earned a bye straight to the National League Division Series.
That may not be the case this year, as the Dodgers currently have the worst record among National League Division winners, which means they’re poised to host the lowest Wild Card team in a best-of-three series. They also still have the Padres breathing down their necks in the division, so there’s always a chance they could be a straight up Wild Card team as well.
