The Dodgers closed the 2026 regular season with a 32-22 record over the last 54 games, posting a +45 run differential and a .247/.332/.408 batting line. The offense slipped, but the pitching staff rebounded, posting a 3.46 ERA and an ERA- of 83. The bullpen found its footing behind Tanner Scott, Edgardo Henriquez, Alex Vesia, and Jack Dreyer, while a healthy Evan Phillips and Brock Stewart added depth. In the starting rotation, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Tarik Skubal combined for a 2.49 ERA over 33 starts, including 21 quality starts. Catchers Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Hunter Feduccia, and Ben Rortvedt saw time, with Smith returning to form in September. Position players Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, and Teoscar Hernandez provided sparks, while Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and others dealt with injuries. The team finished with a 96-win pace.
