Pros
The Dodgers have been the most dominant baseball team for the last two years. They have been champions two years in a row.
Their top hitter Shohei Ohtani has been carrying the team to victory for the past two seasons. Their top pitchers this season are also Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow. Mookie Betts is expected to return mid May from injury.
They have only lost 13 games this season and have won 22 games. The Dodgers won their most recent game against the Astros (the team that defeated them in the world series in 2017). This season they have a major opportunity to make it to the playoffs due to their dominant victories. Next week they have a chance to beat their rivals the San Francisco Giants, who haven’t been doing well this season.
Cons
Mookie Betts is currently injured in his right oblique; the Dodgers would have to bring up their game against future teams like the Braves, their rival team the Giants, the Angels, and the Padres without him.
The Braves have also been on 26:11 win-loss ratio as of this month, and will be the next team the Dodgers will face this week. With their recent performance, they have a chance at making it to the playoffs and potentially beating the Dodgers.
With these Pros and Cons in mind, do YOU believe the Dodgers have a chance to win the World Series for the 3rd year in a row?
