After the 1974 Dodgers posted a 102-win season and fell to the Oakland Athletics in the first all-California World Series, the franchise built a pattern of deep pitching rotations and frequent postseason trips. By 2026, under manager Dave Roberts, the Dodgers entered their 14th straight playoff appearance, fielding a four-starter corps reminiscent of Walter Alston’s 1974 staff.
