Are the 2025 Dodgers the best postseason team in baseball history?

The Milwaukee Brewers have no chance.

Neither will the Seattle Mariners or the Toronto Blue Jays.

The stark truth emerged from the shadows of Dodger Stadium late Thursday amid a city-shattering din of joy and disbelief.

This is ridiculous. It’s simply ridiculous, how well the Dodgers are playing, how close the history books point to it, and how an ordinary summer has been followed by days of extraordinary unbelief.

The Dodgers won’t lose another game this October. Write it down, bet it, no major league baseball team has ever played this well in the postseason, ever, ever, ever.

With their 3-1 victory over the Brewers on Thursday in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, the Dodgers take a three-game lead with a potential sweep over the next 24 hours and the crowning come two weeks.

The Dodgers will win this NLCS and follow it up with a four-game World Series whitewash because, well, you tell me.

How will anyone beat them?

Match their ace flush rotation? No match for their hot closer and resurgent bullpen? Sorry. Better than their deep line? No one is even close.

The Dodgers are more than halfway to the most dominant postseason finish in baseball history, it all counts.

The only team to go undefeated through the playoffs since the 1976 Cincinnati Reds. But the Big Machine only had to win seven games. Since the playoffs have expanded and the testing toughened, the longest October streaks belong to the 2005 Chicago White Sox and the 1999 New York Yankees, who both went 11-1.

The Dodgers were forced into the Wild Card primary series, so if they finish this postseason without a loss, they will finish 13-1.

The last time a team in this town was so dominant in the 2001 postseason was the 2001 Lakers, who went 15-1 in the postseason against Philadelphia on a night when Allen Iverson famously stepped on Tyronn Lue.

Those Lakers were legendary. The Dodgers will soon.

They are currently 8-1 in the playoffs and have won 23 of their last 29 games, and who will beat them again?

Start with this rotation. Tyler Glasnow followed up gems by Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Thursday with a swing-and-miss in 5 ⅔ innings, holding the Brewers to one run with eight strikeouts, and two runs in 22 ⅔ innings against Dodger starters in three games.

And perhaps their best pitcher hasn’t even taken the mound yet, which is Friday’s starter Shohei Ohtani.

Now for their deep line. Ohtani is still mired in a career-worst slump, but his one hit on Thursday was a leadoff triple that led to the first run, and everyone else seemed to be caught up in it. Mookie Betts had the first RBI, Tommy Edman hit a hit against Will Smith. On and on..

Finish with their bullpen, which is literally finished. With a runner on first and two in the sixth for Glasno, Alex Vescia, Blake Trinen, Anthony Banda and Rookie Sasaki shut down the rest of the Brewers’ ways, and their regular-season weakness became their strength.

Incidentally, Sasaki’s ninth-inning shutout was aided by a nice in-the-hole putout by shortstop Bates, and that’s just another way the Dodgers can beat you.

All that, and as confirmed Thursday, they have the best home field advantage in baseball.

No place is bigger. No place attracts more fans. And nowhere is it louder, from the bleacher-rattling sound to the cover-your-ears sound system.

“This place has a feeling about it,” said Dodger Stadium’s Max Munsey. “It’s the biggest capacity in baseball. Everybody talks about it when you come in here. The lights seem a little brighter. The music seems a little louder — it might actually be because it’s a little louder.”

Yes, fans, you may hate the volume of stadiums around the world, but the players love it.

“That’s part of the perks of being in Dodger Stadium, we have this sound system,” Munsey said. “It sounds silly to say something like a sound system can be an advantage. But it really is. When the speakers in center field are cranking and people are going absolutely nuts and you feel the floor shaking under your feet, that’s a really big advantage. And that’s what we’ve always had here.”

The stadium came out on Thursday for the event as it always does at this time of year, packed despite the odd mid-afternoon start time, standing and shouting continuously until the end of the game.

“When we’ve had those big moments, there’s really no place that’s louder than Dodger Stadium, especially in the offseason,” Muncie said. “When you have 56, 57,000 people screaming at the same time in a big moment, it’s wild. It’s an advantage we’ve always had here, and the guys love it.”

There’s a lot to love.
