Dave Roberts knows his Dodgers team is absolutely stacked. And anything other than a World Series Championship would simply be a let down.

During an interview this week, Roberts wanted it on record that his team will be winning the World Series this year.

“It’d be crazy not to,” Roberts said on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Thursday. “I believe in this organization. I believe we are going to put ourselves in that position, and we’ve got to finish it this year.”

Dave Roberts would elaborate on his World Series take, even doubling down when talking about the only circumstances that can stop the Dodgers’ juggernaut.

“We play a full season and there is a postseason. We are winning the World Series in 2022. I know where you are going with that. We will win the World Series this year. Put it on record,” he said.

Last season, Dave Robert’s Dodgers won 106 games in the regular season. But when running into the red-hot Atlanta Braves in the postseason, LA sputtered.

Now, they’ve added Freddie Freeman to their already-stacked roster, and will look to expand on what they were able to accomplish last season.

By all indications, it appears that the Dodgers could be one of the best baseball teams we’ve seen in a long, long time.
