Who are the Dodgers’ Biggest Threats to a Three-Peat in 2026?

The Los Angeles Dodgers are one season away from completing a historic three-peat in 2026 , the first in the franchise’s history. They’re currently the odds on favorites to win the World Series this year and accomplish the feat, but several other teams have the opportunity to step in and dethrone the Dodgers in 2026.

The Bronx Bombers had an uneventful offseason—mostly just re-signing their key pieces from last year like Trent Grisham Jr. and former Dodger Cody Bellinger—but still have the quality to win their division. FanGraphs projects the Yankees to win their division and have the second-best record in the AL, giving them a reasonable road to the World Series.

Seattle Mariners The Seattle Mariners are the only AL team the New York Yankees are projected to have a worse record than, and are coming off of an impressive season despite falling just short. The M’s missed their first World Series appearance by a single game, and will certainly be hungry to make it to the Fall Classic this year. Seattle kept most of their big names throughout the offseason, really only losing Eugenio Suarez — a minor loss when you look at his stats during his time with the Mariners following the trade deadline.
