The Los Angeles Dodgers are aiming to become the first team since the 2000 Yankees to win consecutive World Series titles, with Mookie Betts expected to play a pivotal role in their postseason run.

Betts has been performing exceptionally well late in the 2025 season, hitting .352/.407/.574 over his last 37 games after earlier struggles.

Despite consistent playoff appearances, the Dodgers underperformed in the 2025 regular season, finishing with a projected 90 wins—their lowest since 2012—raising questions about fatigue or complacency.

He also highlights the difference between the grueling 162-game regular season and the postseason, where the game slows down and players can focus more, which is vital as the Dodgers aim to defend their title.

Mookie Betts credits his recent resurgence to a mental shift, focusing less on individual statistics and more on winning and building a lasting legacy through team success.
