Why betting on Dodgers completing historic World Series 3-peat is a fool’s errand

The Los Angeles Dodgers are entering the MLB postseason as World Series favorites with 100 wins, aiming to become the fifth team in history to win three consecutive championships. However, health concerns surround key players Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani heading into the playoffs.

Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged that Freeman is compromised by an aching right knee. Meanwhile, Ohtani recently spent time on the 15-day injured list with right arm discomfort and went 2-for-12 with five strikeouts against the San Francisco Giants.
