The Dodgers aren’t perfect — they’ve trailed in six of their first eight games, two of which they won in dramatic walk-off fashion — but it’s not ludicrous to think they’ll make a run at 162-0, or at least the modern-day record of 116 victories.
The San Diego Padres are 7-0, have the best run differential in the game at plus-25 and might never spend a day in first place.
And the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks are a combined 9-4 and probably already looking at a best-case scenario of their seasons coming down to a wild-card series in October.
Then there’s the Colorado Rockies, praying for expansion and realignment.
