The Dodgers earned their 12th National League West Division title and their 13th National League Postseason berth in 13 years. That's only one appearance short of the record, held by the Atlanta Braves from 1991 to 2005 (with 1994 having no postseason). The New York Yankees also have 13 consecutive playoff seasons, frm 1995-2007.
The Dodgers last missed the postseason in 2012. In 2013, the Dodgers beat the Braves in the NLDS before losing to the Cardinals (who lost to the Red Sox in the World Series). And the playoff run started from there:
- 2013: NLDS win over Braves; NLCS loss to Cardinals
- 2014: NLDS loss to the Cardinals
- 2015: NLDS loss to the Mets
- 2016: NLDS win over the Nationals; NLCS loss to the Cubs
- 2017: NLDS win over the Diamondbacks; NLCS win over the Cubs; stolen World Series
- 2018: NLDS win over the Braves; NLCS win over the Brewers; World Series loss to the Red Sox
- 2019: NLDS loss to the Nationals
- 2020: NLWC win over the Brewers; NLDS win over the Padres; NLCS win over the Braves; World Series win over the Rays
- 2021: NLWC win over the Cardinals; NLDS win over the Giants; NLCS loss to the Braves
- 2022: NLDS loss to the Padres
- 2023: NLDS loss to the Diamondbacks
- 2024: NLDS win over the Padres; NLCS win over the Mets; World Series win over the Yankees.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto had six scoreless innings (4 H, 2 BB and 7 Ks); Tanner Scott had an inning where he did not implode; Anthony Banda cleaned up the ninth.
Shohei Ohtani had his 54th home run in the fourth inning; Freddie Freeman had two HR, and Andy Pages added a homer to boot. Even Kiké Hernandez had two hits.
And now, we wait to see who our Wild Card round opponent will be.
Here's to a happy flight to Seattle for the final series of the season! Congratulations, 2025 Dodgers!
