In 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers are set to continue their storied tradition in Major League Baseball with a full schedule of games that promises excitement, rivalry, and the chance to chase championship glory. Established in Brooklyn before moving to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have called Dodger Stadium, an iconic venue in the heart of Los Angeles, their home. This stadium has witnessed countless historic moments and is ready to host another season of Dodgers baseball.
The Dodgers enter the 2024 season with high expectations, building on a strong 2023 campaign, finishing with a 100-62 record. Despite an impressive regular season, their postseason run was cut short in the NL Division Series. With the addition of two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers are looking to leverage their talent and depth to achieve postseason success.
2024 Season Schedule Highlights
The Dodgers’ schedule for 2024 is packed with 162 regular-season matches, starting with a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals on March 28 at Dodger Stadium. This season is particularly notable for its array of matchups against familiar foes and exciting interleague opponents, including a much-anticipated series against the Boston Red Sox, marking the first regular-season encounter between the teams since 2016.
Special dates to mark on the calendar include Jackie Robinson Day, Easter Sunday, Father’s Day, and the Fourth of July when the Dodgers will face off against teams like the Washington Nationals, Kansas City Royals, and Arizona Diamondbacks. The first bobblehead night will be on April 13th, with a Brusdar Graterol bobblehead being presented by Yaamava’ Resort and real cash casino games at San Manuel Casino.
The Dodgers are also set to embark on exciting road trips, including a tense nine-game stretch against the Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays, and Diamondbacks, and a high-profile series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
California Rivalries
The Dodgers’ long-standing rivalries with the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres are among the season’s highlights. The historic rivalry with the Giants continues, with series scheduled for April 1-3, May 13-15, June 28-30, and July 22-25, keeping alive a competition that dates back to when both teams were based in New York. The I-5 rivalry with the Padres also heats up with matchups on March 20-21, April 12-14, May 10-12, July 30-31, and September 24-26, reflecting baseball’s storied and competitive nature in California.
