An unexpected threat looms on the horizon for the Los Angeles Dodgers. When the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani for a record-breaking figure, the message was clear: they want to dominate MLB for years to come. With a star-studded lineup and a fan base that continues to grow – including a huge Latino community – everything seemed to indicate that 2025 would be a season of absolute dominance.

Midway through the season, an old rival has raised its hand again and is giving clear signals that the battle for the throne in the National League is more alive than ever. And yes, both Ohtani and the Dodgers organization know it: dominance is at risk.
What is the threat in the reign of the Los Angeles Dodgers?
San Francisco Giants make strong comeback in 2025 season
- After several years of ups and downs and rebuilding, the San Francisco Giants have shown a revamped and dangerous version in the 2025 season. With a young but talented roster and disciplined coaching, the Giants are once again a real threat in the National League West.
- The team has strung together key victories, swept competitive teams and, most importantly, played fearlessly against the Dodgers. Their duels so far this year have been intense, evenly matched and full of drama, reigniting the historic rivalry between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Ohtani: The Heart of the Los Angeles Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani is undoubtedly the face of the Dodgers in 2025. His arrival revolutionized the franchise and attracted the attention of the entire world. Although he has not been able to pitch due to previous surgery, his offensive performance has been stellar: he leads in home runs and is a figure respected by teammates and rivals alike.
But even a superstar like him knows that baseball is a team sport, and that the playoffs are not won by names, but by collective performance. That is why the resurgence of the Giants puts the whole organization on alert.
The Giants are playing very smart baseball. We know we can’t relax
Why are the Giants a threat to the Dodgers?
- The rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants is not new. It is one of the most intense and long-standing in professional baseball. But what makes this 2025 season special is that both teams arrive with a combination of talent, motivation and urgency to prove they can reign in the National League.
- For Latino fans who closely follow both franchises, many of them located in California and other cities in the United States, this rivalry has a very special flavor. It is a duel not only of teams, but also of cultures, styles of play and sporting pride.
Dodgers strategy to be modified
- Everything is at stake: pitching, defense and leadership: the Dodgers have one of the most powerful offenses in the league, the Giants have improved significantly in their pitching staff, which could tip the balance in close games. In addition, the young leadership that has emerged in San Francisco has given them an energy that seemed to be lacking before.
For Shohei Ohtani, this scenario also represents a great opportunity: to prove that he is not only a star in his own right, but also a leader capable of guiding his team in the most difficult moments.

Plzeňský diamant je zpátky. Panoš vyléčil zranění, v přípravě vystřihl úchvatný gól
„Pany je geniální hráč. Věříme, že bude postupně lepší a lepší, a že svoji genialitu bude přenášet do ligy i na evropskou scénu,“ přeje si plzeňský asistent Jan Trousil. Když vzal kouč Miroslav Koubek loni v létě tehdy 16letého Panoše do přípravy a následně ho postavil do důležitého duelu o Evropskou ligu proti Kryvbasu, bylo to obrovské překvapení. Teenager ale záhy ukázal, že Koubkův tah byl správný. Proti Kryvbasu vykouzlil parádní gól a začala na něj pět ódy média, především ale také experti.V rozletu však Panoše brzdila zranění. Jednou to byl lýtkový sval, podruhé koleno. Přišel kvůli tomu dost možná i o premiérovou nominaci do reprezentačního áčka. Při březnovém srazu totiž původně figuroval mezi náhradníky.Teď je po delší době zdravotně v pořádku. Začne jeho hvězda opět stoupat? „V sedmnácti letech má neskutečný věci.
