Vázquez, CHangovers: A couple of writers, in their pre-season previews, mentioned the possibility of the 2019 Red Sox suffering from a "World Series hangover". One writer stated that this phenomenon "is real" (although no proof was provided) and insisted this was why the Red Sox would not win the AL East.
But the Dodgers played just as deep into October. Their off-season was exactly the same length as Boston's.
