Six runs wins ballgames.
Dodgers 6, Cubs 1
The Dodgers are who we thought they were. The best team in baseball headed into the trade deadline comfortably ahead of the rest of baseball and added Yu Darvish anyways. LA stumbled at times during the second half, but won 104 games anyways. They haven’t done any stumbling this October and neither has Darvish, who kept the Dodgers perfect postseason rolling.
Darvish even picked up an RBI, though the process was easy to argue against. Dave Roberts let him bat with the bases loaded, which made no sense at all—and Carl Edwards Jr.
