The Los Angeles Dodgers stunned many with a commanding 10-0 victory over the New York Mets, averting a series sweep and adjusting their season record to 13-11. Despite the win, some fans and pundits are still skeptical about the team’s uneven performance so far this season. Before this match, the Mets were on a roll, holding a solid 12-9 record, but the Dodgers‘ latest performance could be a turning point.
As betting discussions intensify, many are contemplating the profitability of wagering against the Dodgers. While their current record is over .500, some bettors argue that consistently betting against them might yield a significant return by the season’s end. However, the odds often favor the Dodgers, especially against weaker teams. For example, betting on a major underdog like the Detroit Tigers against them might have offered a lucrative +315 money line at times.
Despite these speculations, the Dodgers continue to demonstrate their strength. They boast a talented lineup including three MVP candidates and top-tier pitchers like Tyler Glasnow. Their comprehensive skill set suggests they are not only a formidable National League contender but possibly the best team in all of MLB.

Looking ahead, the season is still early, and the Dodgers are expected to excel. Despite the minor discrepancies in their win-loss record compared to teams like the Atlanta Braves, they are anticipated to be substantial favorites in any potential playoff scenarios, particularly against divisional rivals like the San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Even against top American League teams like the New York Yankees, the Cleveland Guardians, and the Texas Rangers, the Dodgers would likely be favored.
The Dodgers’ organizational depth, aggressive management, and financial willingness to enhance their roster at the trade deadline position them as perennial favorites. As the season progresses, expect them to solidify their standing and potentially dominate throughout the postseason.
