If you're looking for the best advice to beat the MLB baseball odds, you've certainly come to the right place. Here at Bookmaker sportsbook, we’re examining the history of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

MLB baseball Betting Online: The Dodgers are one of the most recognizable and historic teams in the major leagues. The team began in Brooklyn in 1883, but moved to Los Angeles in 1958. They played their first four seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before moving into Dodger Stadium, their current home ballpark. It is the third oldest stadium in the major leagues behind Boston’s Fenway Park and Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

The Dodgers had the first black player in the Major Leagues when they signed Jackie Robinson. He played a key role in helping the Dodgers to its first World Series championship in 1955. The Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series and first in Los Angeles in 1959, defeating the White Sox in six games. Los Angeles continued their impressive run in the 1960s, winning World Series titles in 1963, over the Yankees, and in 1965, over the Twins in seven games. The Dodgers won three pennants in the 1970s but could not grab a World Series championship in that decade. The 1980s were more fruitful, as the Dodgers won the 1981 World Series behind pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela. Los Angeles won another title in 1988 behind starter Orel Hershisher. That World Series had one of the most memorable baseball moments ever when Kirk Gibson came on as a pinch-hitter to hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 1.

The Dodgers are tied with the Giants for the second-most National League pennants at 21, the second-most World Series appearances at 18, and the second-most World Series championships with six. In 2011, the Dodgers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid financial troubles. The product on the field has suffered because the front office is a bit handcuffed by the decision, so it may be a couple years until Los Angeles becomes a contender again in MLB baseball odds.
