Dodgers Eying a 3rd Straight World Series Title as NLDS Opener Nears
The Dodgers are aiming for a third straight championship while managing an aging roster and injuries ahead of Game 1 against the wild-card winner.
- On Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers host the National League Division Series opener, seeking their third consecutive World Series title, matching the 1998-2000 New York Yankees achievement.
- During a quiet bye week, the Dodgers conducted simulated games and live batting practice while monitoring the NL Wild Card Series between Philadelphia and Atlanta to prepare for their opponent.
- Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Ohtani is 'feeling great physically,' while Freddie Freeman managed a right knee issue; reliever Blake Treinen will miss the postseason after getting hurt last weekend.
- Experience "is going to be huge," Freeman said, while third baseman Max Muncy cautioned against extra pressure from 'three-peating' to keep focus on the immediate matchup.
- Temperatures reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit are forecast for Saturday's day game in Los Angeles as the team focuses on immediate competition rather than historic implications.
