Around 102. They won't stay on this scalding pace, but they're still an excellent team.

Good question. I assumed in picking 100-104 that it was regular season only. The 125 plus wins predictions are preposterous if based on the regular season only, but are more understandable - if still a stretch - if based on the regular season and postseason.

EDIT - I either missed the parenthetical in the thread title when I voted or Ale edited it, but looks like it is indeed regular season only.

They're good in every possible way. But it's baseball. It's incredibly hard to win 2/3 of your games. Now if any team can win 115+, it's this team, but I just assume that something will happen to keep them below that. I picked 105-109, which, obviously, is still amazing.

It's a long season, and some regression record-wise is inevitable. Also, much like the 2018 Red Sox, the petal will not be driven all the way to the metal in September assuming the Dodgers are comfortably ahead in the divisional race. The 2018 Sox were 15-11 in September, with key players being given days off down the stretch. So I voted in the 105-109 range; getting to 110 or beyond is unlikely, IMO.

I was going to put 105-109, but went one level down to 100-104 - all the regression points hold, but also they have to play the Padres a lot. Those battles will take them down a bit.

Dodgers have been hilariously streaky so far, their entire season so far broken into three parts:

13-2
5-15
7-1
