The Los Angeles Dodgers advanced to their second consecutive National League Championship Series on Monday after completing a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers’ opponent is not yet known, as the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals haven taken their NL Division Series to a fourth game. The matchup took an interesting turn on Tuesday when Game 4 was rained out and rescheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
At first glance, the postponement appeared to have benefited the Nationals most. With the extra day of preparation, many assumed the club would start Stephen Strasburg over Tanner Roark, but manager Dusty Baker quickly downplayed that possibility.
