The Dodgers are run by smart guys. Really smart guys. Every now and then, a little too smart for their own good.
The Dodgers already would have swept the National League Championship Series had they deployed their best relievers in the Game 2 bullpen game. In a short series, they did not take their best shot at winning.
So credit where credit is due: The Dodgers could end this NLCS by winning Friday, and they are not overthinking this one.
