The Dodgers haven’t had a win streak of at least three games in over a month. LA takes their 1-game streak into Monday night against the Cardinals.
The Dodgers are back home from a winning road trip, facing the Cardinals on Monday night at Dodger Stadium, and trying to string some wins together for the first time in a while.
Last week the Dodgers won the first two games in Cincinnati, but weren’t able to extend that into a longer streak. It’s been that way for a few weeks. Since the seven-game losing streak near the beginning of the month, the Dodgers won the final two games in San Francisco on July 12-13, then won the finale against the Twins and the first game in Boston from July 23-25 before last week against the Reds.
But they haven’t been able to win at least three straight since a four-game streak that began with the final game of June in Kansas City before sweeping the White Sox at home from July 1-3.
Monday is 32 days after the end of that win streak, and after Sunday’s win in Tampa the earliest they coule possibly complete their next three-game win streak is Tuesday, which would be 33 days.
In the 68 seasons the Dodgers have been in Los Angeles, they’ve had 784 win streaks lasting at least three games, an average of about 11 per year. So far in 2025, the Dodgers have eight win streaks lasting at least three games, topping out at eight straight to open the year.
Only 41 of those Los Angeles Dodgers streaks (5.2 percent) came at least 33 days after the previous streak ended. So it happens roughly three times every five years. In the team’s current stretch of making the postseason 12 years in a row, the Dodgers only had two droughts at least this long.
In 2023, the Dodgers had a six-game win streak from May 9-15, but then both Julio Urías and Dustin May went down with injuries and things got messy for a while. Their next extended winning streak came from June 20-24, lasting four games that ended 40 days after the previous streak.
Ten years earlier, the Dodgers won three games in a row in the season’s first week, then played terribly for the next month and a half, bottoming out at 12 games under .500 on June 21. Then they won six straight games, completing that streak 81 days after their last streak of at least three games.
The only longer drought since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles was in 1968. One day after Don Drysdale broke the record for consecutive scoreless innings, the team won its seventh straight game. But they didn’t have another streak of at least three games until September, which was 89 days later.
Tyler Glasnow, whose return along with Blake Snell has brought more stability to a Dodgers rotation that needed it, will try to get the Dodgers streak to two games on Monday night.
