After a dramatic 2025 season, the Dodgers once again asserted their dominance by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays to win their second consecutive World Series championship.

That victory not only brought them the prestigious trophy but also opened the door to building a new dynasty in MLB.

Entering the 2026 season, the Dodgers are not only the defending champions but also considered the top contender for the World Series. Prediction models even suggest they have the highest probability of winning the championship and are almost certain to make the playoffs.

Therefore, the team’s goal is not simply to qualify in October.

A bigger goal is being set: reaching 100 or more wins in the regular season.

One of the reasons experts believe the Dodgers can achieve over 100 wins lies in their nearly perfect roster.

The Dodgers’ offense still revolves around top MLB superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman.

This trio is considered one of the most dangerous offensive cores in modern baseball.

Furthermore, the Dodgers have continued to strengthen their power with major signings in recent seasons. The acquisition of stars like closer Edwin Díaz has helped the team address the bullpen weakness that caused concern towards the end of the 2025 season.

Combined with an already strong lineup, the Dodgers could possess one of the best offenses in MLB.

Not only offensively, the Dodgers’ pitching staff is also considered extremely formidable.

The Los Angeles team currently boasts what could be considered the strongest rotation in the league, with top pitchers like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and other stars in their pitching system.

Yamamoto even became a hero for the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series with an outstanding performance and the series MVP award.

With stable rotation and a strengthened bullpen, the Dodgers could enter the new season with a rare balance between offense and defense.

Under coach Dave Roberts, the Dodgers have become one of the most consistent teams in MLB for almost a decade.

The team has won 12 NL West championships in 13 seasons and consistently made the playoffs.

That streak has led the Dodgers to frequently reach or surpass 100 wins in previous seasons.

Therefore, their setting a similar goal for the 2026 season is not surprising.

It’s worth noting that 2026 also marks a minor transition in the team’s history, as pitching legend Clayton Kershaw officially retires after the 2025 season.

Nevertheless, the current roster depth suggests the Dodgers still have enough strength to continue their dominance.

If the Dodgers truly achieve over 100 wins in the 2026 season, it could pave the way for a much bigger goal: three consecutive World Series championships.

In MLB history, this achievement is extremely rare.

The last team to do so was the New York Yankees from 1998–2000.

The Dodgers now have the opportunity to become the first National League team to achieve this in decades.

Therefore, every game they play in the 2026 season will be closely watched.

However, with strength comes immense pressure.

When a team is considered the top contender, every opponent enters the field determined to defeat them.

Teams in the NL West like the San Diego Padres or the San Francisco Giants will undoubtedly view every game against the Dodgers as a mini-playout.

But with their roster depth, winning experience, and stable coaching staff, the Dodgers are still considered capable of overcoming that pressure.

As the 2026 season approaches, the biggest question in MLB isn’t whether the Dodgers are strong.

The real question is: are there any teams strong enough to stop them?

If all predictions come true and the Dodgers surpass 100 wins, the 2026 season could become the next chapter in the story of a new baseball dynasty.
