In this episode of Talkin' Dodgers, we celebrate the Dodgers clinching the best record in MLB and securing home-field advantage throughout the playoffs! We reflect on Shohei Ohtani's incredible first season as a Dodger and his historic MVP chase, as he’s set to become the first full-time DH to win the prestigious award in his debut year with the team.

We also dive into our picks for the Dodgers' surprise MVP (excluding the MV3 of Betts, Ohtani, and Freeman), debate the LVP (Least Valuable Player) of the season, and discuss some of the biggest letdowns. With the playoff bracket set, we preview the Braves vs. Padres series and speculate on who the Dodgers might face in the divisional round.

Before all that, we take a moment to honor the legendary Pete Rose, who passed away today at the age of 83. Mike reflects on the legacy of “Charlie Hustle,” his impact on the game, and whether he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame, even posthumously. What do you think?
