How Many Miles Will the Dodgers Be Traveling in 2025 Season?
The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently in Japan preparing to kick off their season.
As expected, this is adding significant mileage to an already arduous MLB regular season grind.

When it comes to where the Dodgers rank in terms of total mileage added up for the 2025 regular season, a new study by New Jersey Bet was able to identify the exact number.
This is a rare instance where the Dodgers rank at the top of the league in a category, but fans shouldn’t be thrilled with it. With 55,893 miles to travel in 2025, L.A. has been given the worst travel schedule in the league.
Although many of those miles are due to the Tokyo Series, that number is 12,741 more miles than last season.
The report indicated that the West Coast teams will carry a brunt of the worst travel schedules as the teams that follow the Dodgers are the Athletics, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants, and the Los Angeles Angels.
As for the average of all teams, it is only 761 more miles per average road trip, but L.A. certainly has the disadvantage here. Not to mention, last season was also started overseas as Seoul, South Korea was where the Dodgers opened up 2024.
Regardless, the step up from last year’s miles to this current season is 12,741 miles. The defending champions will surely be tested on the road in 2025.
Last year, the Dodgers were 52-29 at home and 46-35 on the road. With the significant increase in mileage, it will be interesting to note what the Dodgers’ record is at the end of the season and if players comment on travel fatigue throughout the year.
The excitement for 2025 has been building all season long, and the quest to becoming baseball’s first back-to-back champions in a quarter-century begins Wednesday, March 18 against the Chicago Cubs at the Tokyo Dome.
