MLB Analyst Claims Dodgers Midseason 2025 Confidence Soars

Los Angeles — They were already a juggernaut. Now, with fresh firepower and a chip on their shoulder, the Los Angeles Dodgers are proving once again why they remain baseball’s most dominant force.

On a recent segment of MLB Central, respected analyst and former MLB outfielder Chris Young didn’t mince words. “The Dodgers are still the best team in baseball right now,” he said, as images of Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and breakout sensation Will Smith flashed on screen.

And he’s got a point.

Despite early-season injuries and fierce competition in the National League, the Dodgers have kept their foot on the gas. Shohei Ohtani, the two-way phenom signed to a historic deal, is delivering thunderous home runs while continuing to dazzle from the mound. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has adjusted to MLB life with poise, establishing himself as a rotation anchor. And the supporting cast? From Mookie Betts’ consistent brilliance to James Outman’s clutch plays, L.A. is stacked from top to bottom.

“They don’t just win — they overwhelm,” Young continued. “It’s not just about the talent, it’s the attitude, the culture, the expectation to dominate.”

What makes this year’s Dodgers squad so special is not just their depth, but their hunger. After last year’s postseason disappointment, the club entered 2025 with a vengeance. The team’s current record and stats back up Young’s bold proclamation: a top-three offense in runs scored, one of the league’s best ERA marks, and a defense that rarely cracks under pressure.

The message from Dodger Stadium is loud and clear: The crown still belongs in L.A.

And with October creeping closer, one has to wonder — if this is the Dodgers still “getting started,” what will the rest of the league do when they hit full speed?
