Start the Rally: Tweet This Now!Early 2025 predictions are coming in, and many are sounding familiar – the Dodgers are poised to repeat as World Champions in 2025 and kick-off baseball’s newest dynasty behind a star-studded roster and refreshed pitching rotation.
Will the Dodgers Repeat as Champions in 2025?
Seeing the defending World Champions bring back the majority of the championship team, and welcome back a healthy pitching rotation that added an ace to it, puts them atop baseball in the eyes of many. Thus, the Dodgers should be expected to be showered with many projections to repeat as World Champions in 2025.
The Score’s Ben Wrixon and Josh Goldberg collaborated to make one early prediction for each NL team in 2025, and basically share the sentiment that the dynasty may be underway.
2025 Predictions: Dodgers Set for World Series Glory
Another World Series title (for the Dodgers): Somehow, the reigning champions enter 2025 looking even better on paper.
The acquisition of Blake Snell gives the Dodgers another ace in a starting rotation that Shohei Ohtani is expected to rejoin.
The lineup, which still features Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez, will be even better with the addition of Michael Conforto and a full season of Tommy Edman.
The Dodgers are a juggernaut; the dawn of a dynasty is upon us.
Other Notable 2025 National League Projections
Other notable projections include a tough Diamondbacks team that leads the league in ERA after adding Corbin Burnes to a rotation consisting of Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, Eduardo Rodriguez and Brandon Pfaadt.
Elly De La Cruz, and not Ohtani, wins the NL MVP as the Reds rise in the standings. This article is pre-Gavin Lux trade and really could hype the Reds as a contender in the NL Central.
The worst record in the NL? Yep – you’ve guessed it, the Rockies, again. They lost 101 games last season and could lose triple digits once more in a stacked NL West.
Zack Wheeler wins the Cy Young award in Philadelphia for a Phillies team that doesn’t win the NL East. That’s not easy to do, so they’re saying to expect a huge season from Wheeler.
No word on if the Padres will give the Dodgers a run for their money out West, but Fernando Tatis Jr. puts up a career year, they say, including a 30-30 season.
As for the Giants, two Gold Gloves sit in their future according to the predictions, one for shortstop Willy Adames and another for third baseman Matt Chapman.
This comes after the MLB.com predictions for the next 10 World Series champions over the next decade predicted the Dodgers to win twice before 2034.
