Dodgers 2026 postseason outcome hinges on one big question
This big question for the Dodgers has some huge postseason implications.
The Los Angeles Dodgers currently sit atop the NL West with an 80-51 record, giving them a first-round bye in the MLB postseason. This strong position makes them world Series favorites, but one key question remains: how are the players feeling? Grant Brisbee of The Athletic stresses that this seemingly simple question could determine the Dodgers' postseason outcome.
Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, and Will Smith are all poised to return, but the team is still missing several key players due to injury, including Andy Pages, Dalton Rushing, and a number of relievers. The health and performance of these players could significantly impact the Dodgers' chances of advancing far in the postseason. While the team may have momentum and a strong roster, the Dodgers need to ensure their players are fully healthy and on the same page heading into the postseason.
Failure to do so could diminish their chances of a deep playoff run, despite being favored to win the World Series.
