This season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have an opportunity to achieve something that has not been done since the turn of the millenium.

The Dodgers, who are back-to-back World Series champions, can become the first team to three-peat since the 1998-00 New York Yankees. After defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling Fall Classic showdown in 2025, Los Angeles bolstered its roster even more for the 2026 campaign by adding Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz.

Now, at 60-33, the Dodgers have the best record in baseball while being the first of the 30 teams to reach the 60-win mark. However, there is a significant portion of the regular season left, and a lot of formidable opponents will be vying for a title of their own come October.

In a recent episode of On Base, Dodgers stars Mookie Betts and Max Muncy discussed what it will take to cement themselves in the record books alongside the Yankees and the Athletics as the third team in Major League Baseball history to win the World Series in three consecutive seasons.

"Man, we just keep doing the same thing we've been doing," Muncy said. "And it's, you know, for us, again, we show up every single day. We don't let anything carry over from previous days, except for on the bus, you know, everything's fair game on the bus.

"But, like, in terms of the game," Muncy added. "We don't let anything carry over from previous days, whether you've had three home runs, three strikeouts, 10 punch outs, no punch outs. You know, you made three errors. You made three diving plays."

Taking each game as it comes and having a short memory has been beneficial for the Dodgers so far, especially when adversity hits in the form of slumps, injuries or other factors.

"Like, nothing carries over to the next day," Muncy said. "You show up every single day, you do your routine, you got to work, you're 0-for-0. You got to go out there and play that game. And we do such a good job of like, that's all we focus on is, all right, what are we doing today to win this game?

"We're going to face whoever tomorrow, like, we don't know who we're facing tomorrow," he added. "We don't care until it's tomorrow. And then we face that guy.

"And then, you know, every day you show up with that kind of attitude and that mindset. And, you know, we've done that the last several years and it's, it's, that's kind of been what's gotten us over that hump. And, you know, we just got to keep doing that."

At 35 years old, Muncy is one of the established veterans of the team. Betts, 33, is in a similar position, and both of them have been a part of the three World Series winners that the organization has produced during the decade.

In Betts’ view, there is an agreement with Muncy on not getting too caught up with looking at the future before it has arrived.

"I think that the energy is, we don't even think about the repeat or any of that," Betts said. "I think we're just thinking about, to your point, like one game at a time, and then eventually we'll get there."
