On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers return to action when they host the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the World Series.
The Dodgers have cruised in the postseason thus far, winning seven out of eight contests. As was the case heading into their previous two series, the Dodgers hold a rest advantage over their opponent.
But that has proven a stumbling block when dealing with the World Series. Since 1995, there have been 13 teams with five days off prior to Game 1 of the Fall Classic. Among those teams, only six went on to win the series.
