For the second time in 8 days, the Dodgers find themselves in a winner-take-all game against a team that many fans have loved to hate for decades. This time, the Dodgers will travel to San Francisco to try and keep their season alive, staring down the barrel at a pitcher who dominated them in Game 1.
It would be easy to look at the Dodgers’ performances in this NLDS and feel as if the team has been on a see-saw, alternating back and forth between the living and the dead. They’ve been shutout twice, and won in blowout fashion twice – most recently knocking out Anthony DeSclafani in the early innings of Tuesday’s 7-2 Game 4 win.
