Unlike the 2018 season, there was no game 163. There was no pressure on the team to put distance between themselves and the opposition like there was in 2017. The Dodgers looked as good and as deep and as talented as they have at any point since they started putting NL West titles under their belt with ease.
None of that matters now. One game is all that matters now. How did we get here? Did anyone see it coming? Wasn’t the Wild Card winner supposed to be a team easily taken down?
Apparently not.
