Dating to their Brooklyn days, the Dodgers have not won the World Series after any of their 10 highest-win regular seasons, but they have won championships at odd times.
tonight at Dodger Stadium, have a history of winning the World Series at the oddest times.
Over the last half-century, their three championships have come in the strike-shortened season of 1981 after the best team in the National League didn’t make the jerry-rigged playoffs, in the 1988 season when Bob Costas planted the popular notion that their injury-ravaged lineup was the “weakest” in World Series history, and in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the season to three months and left the Dodgers facing Tampa Bay in the World Series on a neutral field in Arlington, Texas.
And no surprise that some people think they can win it all in 2023, when they might not even be the best team along a 130-mile stretch of Interstate 5, in a season when expectations are jumbled a bit by the uncertain effects of new rules., baseball columnist J.P. Hoornstra was the lone voice picking the Dodgers to end up on top in the NL West.
