It's within the realm of possibility that the Los Angeles Dodgers match MLB's all-time single-season wins record of 116 this season. That benchmark was set more than a century ago and tied 95 years later. Here is a quick overview on the two teams that hold the record.
MLB wins record
The 2001 Mariners, led by Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez and rookie phenom Ichiro Suzuki, tied the single-season record by winning 116 games. That mark was first established by the 1906 Cubs, who played only 155 games. That Cubs squad, with its Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance infield, lost the World Series in six games to the White Sox.
Nearly a century later, the Mariners also fell short of the mountaintop, losing in six games to the Yankees in the American League Championship Series.
The 1998 Yankees, who posted a 114-48 record, won the most games of any eventual World Series champion.
