1) Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers have the best record in the sport by a wide margin. Their 98-44 record is the best record in the National League by 9.5 games and the best record in the majors by five games. But the Dodgers have not been a good postseason team.

The Dodgers have made the postseason in each year since 2013. They have only won the World Series once in those nine seasons. In 2021, they won 106 games, which was the second-best in the NL. They made it to the NLCS but were dispatched by the Braves in six games. The Braves won 88 games in the regular season.

In 2019, the Dodgers won 106 games. The Nationals beat them in the NLDS in five games and the Nationals went 93-69 in the regular season.

Another upset could happen again this year and, honestly, it would not be all that surprising.
