As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the NL West is shaping up to be one of the most competitive divisions in baseball. The Dodgers are once again projected to be the team to beat, boasting a Core Winning Percentage of .703. With their powerful lineup and strong pitching staff, can anyone really challenge them for the top spot?
The Padres and Diamondbacks are both in the mix, but their projections suggest they might be playing catch-up. The Padres have some star power with Tatis Jr., Machado, and Bogaerts, but can they all perform at their peak? And what about the Diamondbacks? They may not have superstars, but their solid pitching could surprise us.
On the other hand, the Giants seem to be in a rebuilding phase, and the Rockies are projected to struggle significantly. With a Core Winning Percentage of just .388, can we expect them to lose fewer than 100 games this season?
Here are some questions to ponder and discuss:
- Do you think the Dodgers are truly a lock for the division title, or is there a chance for an upset from the Padres or Diamondbacks?
- Which player from the Padres or Diamondbacks do you think has the potential to break out and lead their team to a surprising season?
- How do you feel about Freddie Freeman's potential decline? Is he still a key player for the Dodgers, or is it time to start looking for alternatives?
- What moves do you think the Giants should make to expedite their rebuilding process?
Let’s hear your thoughts, predictions, and any bold takes you have for the NL West this season!
