The Dodgers are On Pace to Do Something That Hasn’t Been Accomplished Since the 1800s

The Dodgers have been the hottest team in the MLB in August and currently only have 4 losses in the month.

However, the Dodgers are on pace to accomplish something that has not been done in over 140 years. Take a look for yourself, via OptaSTATS on X (Twitter).

Success and the Dodgers have gone hand and hand over the better part of the past decade and it has peaked in 2023. 

NL MVP frontrunner Mookie Betts is carrying the Dodgers on his back this month, as he's in the midst of an insane month of baseball currently hitting .452 with a 1.316 OPS and 9 home runs. The 30-year-old outfield just broke a personal best in long balls in a season.

Betts, along with Freddie Freeman, have picked apart pitchers the entire year while players like James Outman, Jason Heyward, and David Peralta provide quality at-bats and RBIs from the bottom of the order.

This Dodgers team feels special and it has culminated in an amazing month of August as the team looks to prepare for a lengthy postseason run that will hopefully end with the team's second World Series in four years.

The team has battled through many injuries to quality pitchers and has rebounded from that by adding players like Lance Lynn and Ryan Yarbrough, both brought in at this year's trade deadline and provided quality innings.

Sitting at an impressive 82-49, the Dodgers are on their way to another 100+ win season after starting the season not even predicted to win their own division.

Adding familiar faces, bringing in new ones, and helping everyone play at their best is a recipe for success and it might just result in the Los Angeles Dodgers winning it all this year.
