Don Sutton is #1 on the Dodgers win list. I don’t know who was #2 before being bumped to #3.
The other members of the Top 5:
Verlander, Scherzer, Wainwright (he joined the group last week) and ?. The 144’s? I would guess a long time guy? Chris Sales?
You're right, Sutton (233 wins) has the most wins in Dodgers' history.
Yes, you're right again, Verlander (256 wins), Scherzer (214 wins), and Wainwright (200 wins) all have 200 wins, in addition to Kershaw (210 wins). There's one more active player with 200 wins.
Chris Sale is not one of the two active players with 144 wins, but that's a good guess. He has 120.

I’ll go Drysdale was # 2
Yes, Drysdale was #2 in Dodgers' history with 209 wins before Kershaw passed him last week.
The other active pitcher with 200 wins is Zack Greinke (who is having a rough season with a record of 1-15). No other active pitcher is near 200 wins. Johnny Cueto and Gerrit Cole are next at 144. So, the active leaders in career wins are:
256 Verlander
224 Greinke
214 Scherzer
210 Kershaw
200 Wainwright
144 Cueto
144 Cole
A quick review of the current list yielded the following observation….
Excluding Cole, the odds of seeing another pitcher achieve 200+ wins are rather remote. And, I think it is safe to say that 250+ is definitely beyond the reach of any modern day pitchers. Heck, the only hurler under 30 with more than 80 wins today is Jose Berrios.
