The Dodgers approached the NLDS opener with a chance at a third straight World Series title, a concrete milestone that puts the franchise’s recent success in focus. Reporting notes that the club’s roster is populated by aging veterans, a factor that some analysts, like the New York Times, suggest could accelerate the end of the current dynasty, while the Los Angeles Times argues that experience may not be a drawback in October.
MLB.com describes the team’s mindset as taking each October day at a time, and 10TV highlights the title pursuit, but coverage does not specify how the older core will perform against evolving competition.
