The Los Angeles Dodgers are once again in the running for a spot in the World Series, but manager Dave Roberts doesn't think the list starts and ends with his team.
During an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show on Thursday, Roberts expressed complete confidence that his team will hoist the trophy when it is all said and done.
We are going to win the World Series in 2022. We will win the World Series this year. Put it on record.
In his first five years as Dodgers manager, Roberts led the team to the NL West titles. Even though L.A. had 106 wins, the streak ended in 2021.
Los Angeles has won at least 90 games in five of the six seasons Roberts has been manager. The Dodgers won the World Series that year, their first title since 1988. The team couldn't celebrate with a parade because of concerns about COVID-19.
The Dodgers have one of the most formidable lineups in baseball. Los Angeles added a powerful lefty hitter with the signing of Freddie Freeman.
The health of the starting rotation will be the key to Los Angeles success this year. Walker Buehler will be the team's No. 1 starter, followed by veteran hurler Clayton Kershaw, who missed significant time in 2021 with injuries to his forearm.
The Dodgers will play the San Diego Padres on Friday. Los Angeles has three ties.
