You may have heard the 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers have a chance to have one of the best seasons in Major League Baseball history. They are 87-35, on pace to win 116 games — which would tie them for the most victories in a season.

Here is the list of teams with “most victories”.

1906 Chicago Cubs, 116-36

2001 Seattle Mariners, 116-46

1998 New York Yankees, 114-48

1954 Cleveland Indians, 111-43

1909 Pittsburgh Pirates, 110-42

1927 New York Yankees, 110-44

The 2017 Dodgers can play .500 ball the rest of the way (winning 107 games) and still rate as one of the best teams in the history of the game — regardless of how the three rounds of the playoffs turn out.

Perhaps the most annoying aspect of this season?

The continued inability of most Dodgers fans to watch their team on TV (this is Year 4), which we have written about several times. And here is a more-recent L.A. Times story addressing it. In short, it’s about money and feuding TV operators and ignored fans.

But there is a tiny bit of good news out there:

Beginning Tuesday night, the club and its TV rights holder will give the final six Tuesday games of the season to KTLA for free, over-the-air viewing. For fans who might be interested in seeing what the hell this special team is about.

Odds are, the Dodgers won’t get to 117 or 116. The former would require them to win 30 of their final 40. The second would mean 29 out of their final 40. That is a high bar, even for these serial winners.

But something less than baseball history leaves plenty of history out there to rewrite.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, in their previous 54 seasons going back to their arrival, ahead of the 1958 season, have never won more than 102 games, despite winning the World Series in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988.

Even the Brooklyn Dodgers, reliably the best team in the National League for the first 70 percent of the 1950s, never won more than 105 games from the time of their founding, in the 19th century.

So, the current club has targets out there that don’t require 116 or 117 victories.

The Los Angeles record for victories in a season? 102 in 1974 and in 1962 (when they played 165 games, due to a three-game playoff with the San Francisco Giants).

The franchise record? 105 victories in 1953, in Brooklyn.

If these Dodgers can get to 110 victories, that would be the most by a National League team since 1909, which some consider part of the “modern era”. But others look at 1920 as a more realistic version of modernity, going back to a season where Babe Ruth started crushing scads of home runs. And modern or otherwise, 110 victories would be the most by a NL team in 108 years.

So, a lot of this will go unseen, by those who have the “wrong” cable company, but at least a bit more of it will be available, for free.

The six Tuesday games from here on out — August 22 at Pittsburgh, August 29 at Arizona, September 5 versus Arizona, September 12 at San Francisco, September 19 at Philadelphia, September 26 versus San Diego.

Some of those dates could have to do with some significant milestones. It would be nice to watch … and at least once a week fans will be able to.
