Entering 2026, the Los Angeles Dodgers have compiled eight straight NL West titles and they look set to continue their title run.

Their 40-man roster employs proven talent and depth.

Spearheaded by two-way international star Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers’ batting lineup and pitching staff rank among the league’s best.

They play defense.

Even their farm system is highly rated.

Their $397.7 million payroll? That will be addressed this winter.

For now, with the Dodgers scheduled to close out spring training Tuesday, DraftKings Sportsbook listed the back-to-back World Series champions as the heavy favorite to three-peat.  

Do the Dodgers maintain any flaws?

Not really.

Los Angeles Dodgers loaded for 2026 campaign

The Dodgers’ organization, while amassing an exuberant budget, remains loaded, from top to bottom.

Last season, the Dodgers proved they could meander their way through a 93-69 regular season, competing just hard enough to remain at the top of the division, but apparently building toward the postseason.

In the playoffs, the Dodgers stacked clutch efforts:

In Game 4 of the NLCS, Ohtani connected on three home runs and struck out 10 batters, clinching a 5-1 victory over the stampeded Milwaukee Brewers.Freddie Freeman delivered an 18th-inning, game-winning home run, sealing Game 1 of the World Series.The Dodgers’ pitching staff limited opponents to a 1.54 postseason ERA.

They were dominant.

Is it any wonder why the Dodgers (+230) remained the sports-betting favorite to claim the World Series? The New York Yankees drew the second-best odds at +1000.

They may not have many roster flaws, but if the Dodgers overcome another bout of summer complacency, they could match the 1998-2000 New York Yankees as the last club to earn three consecutive Fall Classic crowns.

Will their title run continue?
