The 2014 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished first in the NL West, 6 games clear. They spent 100 of 191 days in first place, led by as many as 6 games on September 26 and were as far as 10 games back on June 7. Their best month was Sept/Oct at 17-8, their worst May at 15-15. The longest runs were a 6-game winning streak from July 25 to July 31 and a 3-game losing streak from May 7 to May 9. They were 45-36 at home and 49-32 on the road, 25-20 in one-run games and 26-33 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 17-0 at the Giants on September 13; the heaviest defeat, 16-2 at the Rockies on September 17.

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

Regulation games only, in minutes. 188 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
Los Angeles Dodgers are 94-68, a .580 win rate, while their +101 run differential implies .569. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
