(Note: In 2019, the Dodgers finished the season 21 games ahead of the second place Arizona Diamondbacks to set a new NL West record for largest margin of victory. Per STATS LLC, the previous record was 20 games, set in 1975 by the (then) NL West Cincinnati Reds over the Los Angeles Dodgers).

    Well, at least we can rest some players to get ready for the post season. Last year we wore out our pitchers chasing the Giants and the division title.
