The Los Angeles Dodgers are on pace to win 110 games this season. That is an incredible amount of victories, and many believe that the back-to-back World Series Champions might not be able to do it.
ESPN revealed this in their latest piece detailing the pace that the Dodgers are on following the first month of the 2026 season. At 19-9, 110 wins is what this team will end up with if they keep it up at their current rate.
David Schoenfield of ESPN is taking the under, but only by a hair at 106 wins. A fair assessment, but look at how this team is constructed. We have already seen how dominant they can be, and with this much star power, they can meet these extremely large expectations.
It all begins and ends with Shohei Ohtani, and his two-way pace is incredible. One of the many questions before this season was whether he could still take to the mound every couple of days. He has done that already and pitched nothing but absolute gems.
At the plate, he is still just as dominant, though having a bit of a slower start. A slower start being a .262 batting average and a six home runs for 12 RBIs. There are plenty of teams that would love to have a hitter like that on their roster, and he is not even the best hitter of the bunch.
That title belongs to Andy Pages, who is having a fantastic start with a .337 batting average and OPS of .933. The left-fielder has been a difference maker on more than one occasion.
The Dodgers are going to be a force throughout this season, and that plateau of 110 wins should not seem so far-fetched. There is enough talent on this roster to go even further than that, and potentially challenge the 2001 ' 116 wins.
