The Los Angeles Dodgers are seeing a new kind of dominance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and his teammates are noticing.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 21-10 through the first month of the season, and received strong contributions from their ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Before the start of the 2024 season, the Dodgers signed Yamamoto to the largest contract ever for a starting pitcher at 12 years/$325 million.

Despite Tuesday night's extra-innings loss in the second game of three against the Miami Marlins, the Dodgers have posted the best record in baseball through 36 games. They've managed it while having a lenthy injured list – one that has key players like Tommy Edman (ankle) and Teoscar Hernandez (abductor strain) joining it within the last eight days.
