After much anticipation and buildup, the Dodgers ended up making easy work of the San Diego Padres in the NLDS this past week. What was supposed to be an uber-competitive series instead turned out to be a clinic on how to win in October with LA ending the series in 3 short games.
This is not to say that there weren’t a few scares along the way (I’m looking at you, Kenley Jansen and Joe Kelly), but the vast majority of the series played out exactly how the Dodgers envisioned it.
As with any postseason series, certain players stood out for their contributions in the three wins.
