Every era of Los Angeles Dodgers baseball, one lineup. These are the highest-rated Los Angeles Dodgers legends across the 1960s to today — a full nine-man batting order plus an ace, chosen by iKnoBall's era-adjusted engine — and the record they'd post over a 162-game season.
Hitting is weighted 62%, the ace 38% — exactly how iKnoBall scores an MLB lineup. Think you'd start a different nine? Prove it.
Sandy Koufax headlines the group at a 97 overall — the kind of number only genuine all-time greats reach on iKnoBall's scale. Around Koufax, the model fills out a complete lineup that balances the ace, the middle of the order, up-the-middle defense, and outfield power across Los Angeles Dodgers history, then simulates all 162 games. The result — 159–3 — reflects both the raw talent and how the pieces fit at the plate and on the mound.

Build Your All-Time LineupGet the AppBy iKnoBall's era-adjusted ratings the all-time Los Angeles Dodgers lineup is Sandy Koufax (SP, 1960s), Mike Piazza (C, 1990s), Freddie Freeman (1B, 2020s), Jeff Kent (2B, 2000s), Pedro Guerrero (3B, 1980s), Trea Turner (SS, 2020s), Mookie Betts (OF, 2020s), Cody Bellinger (OF, 2010s), Shawn Green (OF, 2000s), Shohei Ohtani (DH, 2020s). Together they project to a 159–3 regular season.
iKnoBall's simulation projects this 10-man lineup at 159–3 over a 162-game season, with an average starter rating of 92. The model runs each game as a probability from the lineup's combined hitting and pitching strength, so an all-time team contends for a historic year but nothing is guaranteed.
Each player's overall is era-adjusted so a 1960s legend and a modern superstar sit on the same 70–99 scale. Hitting (the nine-man batting order) is weighted 62% and the ace pitcher 38%, and only true all-time greats reach the mid-to-high 90s.
