The 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 99th season for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 31st season in Los Angeles, California, and their 27th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers as a squad that was picked to finish fourth would win the World Series, upsetting the heavily favored New York Mets and Oakland Athletics along the way. Kirk Gibson carried the Dodger offense, winning the National League Most Valuable Player Award. Orel Hershiser dominated on the mound, throwing a record 59 consecutive scoreless innings on his way to winning the Cy Young Award.
