Are the Dodgers the best team in Baseball?

[Wade12345]

I realize the Yankees have a slightly better win-loss record, but come on, the Dodgers have half of an entire All Stars team in their starting lineup.

[Guy13]

I think so if you to the Finish line. they take World Series.

[Wade12345]

This is the most complete baseball team I've ever seen.

I can't believe the way they just run the score up on teams offensively. They did just make two uncharacteristic errors in that game on defense, but it didn't matter, because it's like everyone gets a hit at bat. It's another 7 game winning streak and counting.

They have to be heavy favorites to make and win the World Series at this point.

New York so far

[Wade12345]

I got both the Yankees and the Mets in my top 5 teams, but I have the Dodgers number 1 overall. They're pushing 75% win percentage... in baseball. That's nuts. They just embarrassed the Padres again. Here's my top 5 in no particular order, after the Dodgers anyway..

1) Dodgers
2) Astros
3) Mets
4) Yankee
5) Braves.

Cool

[Wade12345]

No seriously, you said "New York". Do you mean the Yankees or the Mets?

Who do you think can beat the Dodgers in a best of 7 series if they played right now?

The Dodgers are batting in an extra run per game compared to any other team in baseball.

When the playoff starts then tag me I’ll make a decision
But I’m talking about the Yankees

[Iron_Man]

But normally I like the Dodgers better

[Iron_Man]

I’m also number 1 a Miami Marlins fan

[Wade12345]

We'lll see then.

My mother keeps placing small wagers on the Dodgers and winning. She's not a serious gambler, she's only betting like $5 at a time. She just does that as a hobby I guess.

What's your opinion on the Juan Soto trade? I don't think he's that fricken good. His batting isn't' that great. I mean good yeah, but not elite batting, and he plays right field. See my other question about this. I think Josh Bell was the better player for the padres.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not 100% familiar with that player Sorry but I focus more on the Marlins since I live right here. But I am familiar with a couple of the New York Yankee players Mike Stanton and Aaron Judge

[Wade12345]

I don't actually follow baseball most years. There isn't a major league team in my state (Louisiana). However, this season I started following the Dodgers when I saw how good they are. I like to see records and streaks broken, so I started following baseball again.

[Iron_Man]

I like that myself the homerun era

[Wade12345]

I don't know. I think easy home runs is bad for the game. It sort of ruins the defensive strategy in terms of fielding positional play. Even worse, the League plans on making new rules restricting how teams shift players on defense. I think that totally takes the defensive strategy out of the game and turns it into a random shoot-out. I don't think that's good for the game at all.
