Despite an underwhelming start to the regular season mired with a plethora of injuries, the Los Angeles Dodgers are were recently forecasted to win 85 games, per ZiPS’ rest of the year projections. That’s sufficient enough for the Dodgers to win their sixth consecutive National League West title, despite falling short of the 90-win threshold.
Should those predictions hold true, Los Angeles would finish with their fewest amount of wins since the 2011 season (82). Furthermore, their 85-win total would be the lowest among fellow NL division winners.
The Chicago Cubs are penciled in for 93 wins out of the NL Central, while the Washington Nationals headline their respective NL East division with 92.
