Two straight trips to the World Series might not mean the Los Angeles Dodgers are done building their superteam.

LOS ANGELES — Manager Dave Roberts sent a clear message Friday night as he stood on the podium after the Los Angeles Dodgers won the National League Championship Series. Roberts used the opportunity to address the ongoing conversation about the Dodgers' high payroll and the advantage it is said to provide compared to other teams in the league.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and his players are fully leaning into the role of baseball's villains while they pursue a second consecutive World Series title.

L.A. didn't enter October as the juggernaut it was expected to be. Now, though, the Dodgers are playing like it.

The Dodgers are back in the World Series with starters Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani healthy and dominant at the right time.

The Dodgers are headed back to the World Series with a chance to become MLB's first repeat champions in a quarter-century.

The defending champion Dodgers are headed back to the World Series. They swept the Brewers in the NLCS, outscoring them 15-4 in the four-game bludgeoning, including 5-1 in Game 4 .

Dodgers are firing on all cylinders as they defeat the Milwaukee Brewers to move one win away from the World Series.
