The Dodgers have won 211 games over the past two regular seasons but lost in their first postseason series each time, raising questions about the challenges of MLB’s new playoff format.
Dodgers players look on from the dugout during the ninth inning of their 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday night in Phoenix. The Dodgers have won 211 games over the past two regular seasons but lost in their first postseason series each time, going 1-6. PHOENIX — After another shocking crash in October, the Dodgers are once again sifting through the wreckage, hoping to find a black box that will explain what went wrong.
“Yeah, the regular season, I think we do a great job. But the last couple of postseasons, it just hasn’t gone well for us and so I’ve got to figure it out.” The Dodgers and Braves have finished with the NL’s two best records each of the past two regular seasons. Both were eliminated in the NLDS round last season, winning one game each.
“But I do think that – I’m not a hitter, but it does seem like it’s a bit of a challenge for guys. It’s not an excuse, though.”Last year, the Dodgers led the majors with 847 runs scored during the regular season but managed just 12 in four postseason games . This year, they were even better in the regular season – and worse in the postseason .
Recent successes of wild-card teams in the playoffs provide anecdotal evidence that playing meaningful games down the stretch and rolling into the postseason without a long break might be advantageous. The Dodgers haven’t won a postseason series since 2021 after they finished second in the NL West and went into the playoffs as a wild card. They beat the first-place San Francisco Giants in the NLDS – a pattern that repeated in the next two postseasons with the Dodgers in the reverse role.
