With the Dodgers four wins away from repeating as World Series champions, MLB owners may have found the perfect excuse to push hard for a salary cap.

The Dodgers will square off in the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, who advanced to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993 after beating the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS.

There's one way to watch the Dodgers in the World Series in person without a game ticket, and it involves booking a hotel room in downtown Toronto.

The Dodgers are trying to make the most of their extended break before playing in the World Series by staying sharp and focused on the task ahead.

The Dodgers have gone 24-6, including the playoffs, since blowing a no-hitter in Baltimore. The peaks and valleys of the season, however, were never as extreme as they appeared.

The documentary "Diamond Diplomacy" traces Japanese and American history through the lens of baseball. Shohei Ohtani is among the film's stars.

What detractors ignore is how the Dodgers aren't the only team that spent big dollars this year to chase a title. It's how they spend that separates them from other franchises.

Andrew Friedman says the Dodgers were always confident their pitching would be in a good place by October and that's why they didn't make splashy moves at the trade deadline.

The Dodgers have a free-spirited celebration of sweeping the Brewers, but are waiting for one more, much bigger celebration.

Shohei Ohtani becomes the first player to hit three home runs and strike out 10 batters in a game as the Dodgers sweep the Brewers in the NLCS to reach the World Series.
