The Dodgers took game one of Chad’s NLCS last night, overcoming a rough start by Kenta Maeda by beating up on a Braves’ bullpen that was supposed to be retooled at the deadline. Always trade your best prospects for relievers folks. Yesterday’s win gave the Dodgers an 82-42 record, which seems kinda fake? The Braves have the second-best record in the National League at 72-52, but the Dodgers have beaten the Braves all four times the teams have faced off this season, outscoring them 31-10. For good measure, the Braves get to face the arguable favorite in the Cy Young race today.
