It's also the twelfth year in a row that the Dodgers have made the playoffs, far and away the longest streak amongst current teams.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have clinched their 11th National League West title in the last 12 years with a 4-3 win Wednesday night over their divisional rival in the San Diego Padres. It's also the twelfth year in a row that they've made the playoffs, far and away the longest streak amongst current teams and third only to the 1991 to 2005 Atlanta Braves and the 1995 to 2007 New York Yankees in Major League Baseball history.
It was all but confirmed that the Dodgers would storm to an early divisional lead to start the year, which they did, but they've met staunch competition in their divisional rivals throughout the season, leading them to the narrow margin of victory come Thursday. Somehow, they bolstered what was already an incredible lineup when they signed Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani to his 10-year, $700 million contract in the offseason.
