With eight straight wins to begin the 2025 season (including two wins over the Chicago Cubs in Japan), the Los Angeles Dodgers are off to the best start by a defending World Series champion in MLB history. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering the Dodgers only got better in the offseason.
Their longest win streak during the 2024 season was seven games last May. How long can they keep this up? If Wednesday night’s Shohei Ohtani walk-off win is any indication, it could be a while before this team slows down. And they’re not even using torpedo bats; Max Muncy tried one for three at-bats Wednesday before abandoning the torpedo bat and then hitting a game-tying double.

The Dodgers still have a ways to go before they’ll reach the Modern Era record of 13 games, which was tied by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2023.
