The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming out of the All-Star break with an MLB-best 61-36 record and hoping for a World Series three-peat.
The Dodgers have an 11.5-game lead in the National League West, and they are two games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers for the No. 1 record. And, the Dodgers have accomplished a feat only one other team has done.

The Dodgers have done this three times now, and the only other team to do so in the history of baseball was the Baltimore Orioles in 1969.
The Dodgers have a winning percentage of .629 and an on-base percentage of .343.
LA is also second in the MLB in batting average (.262) and slugging percentage (.434), as well as third in runs and fifth in home runs.
The pitching has also been excellent as LA is 1st in batting average against (.216) and walks plus hits per innings pitched (1.14) and third in ERA (3.55).
Superstar Shohei Ohtani is in the Cy Young conversation with an 8-2 record and a 1.79 ERA through 14 starts, and there is a very realistic scenario that the Dodgers become the first team with three straight World Series wins since the New York Yankees at the start of the century.
