Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

Shohei Ohtani's Triple Crown chase captivated MLB fans, but he narrowly missed out, finishing just behind Luis Arraez in batting average. Despite this, Ohtani's season was nothing short of remarkable, leading the league in numerous offensive categories. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their regular season on a high note, clinching the best record in MLB with a 98-64 finish, thanks to a strong 5-game winning streak against the Rockies.

This episode dives into the Dodgers' postseason roster considerations, including bullpen decisions and updates on key players like Freddie Freeman. The National League wild card race adds another layer of intrigue, with the Braves, Mets, and Diamondbacks battling for playoff spots, potentially impacting the Dodgers' NLDS matchup against the Padres.

Tune in to explore these exciting developments and gain insights into how the Dodgers' postseason journey might unfold.
