The Los Angeles Dodgers complete the regular season with their 100th win, defeating the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The milestone is uncommon for the club: the Dodgers’ previous season with at least 100 victories came in 2023, a year that ended with an NL Division Series loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Some outlets highlight a longer historical pattern as context. Reporting notes that since 1975, the Dodgers have not won the World Series in seasons in which they finish with 100 or more regular-season wins. While the statistic is presented as a “bad omen” for the upcoming postseason, it is based on past results rather than any new decision or change to team circumstances.
Overall coverage focuses on the same achievement—100 wins—and then draws attention to the franchise’s historical postseason outcomes when reaching that level, framing it as an added narrative as the playoffs begin.
