The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Friday’s series opener with the Detroit Tigers on pace to reach 116 wins this season, which would match the all-time MLB record shared by the 1906 Chicago Cubs and 2001 Seattle Mariners.
Los Angeles has already made a bit of history this season by going on a 43-7 stretch, which tied a mark for a 50-game span set by the 1912 New York Giants. Whispers of ‘best team ever’ have been heaped on a juggernaut that’s 51 games above .500.
While the Dodgers remain in position to join the Cubs and Mariners in the record books, it’s hardly on the minds of those in the organization.
