Why Will Smith Has Been the Unsung Hero of the Dodgers This Postseason

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the postseason with a glaring weakness — pitching. But one man has been able to help turn that weakness into a strength, and he isn’t getting enough credit for it.

Will Smith has been the unsung hero throughout this postseason as the Dodgers pitched their fourth shutout of the playoffs on Wednesday night in an 8-0 win against the New York Mets in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.

Los Angeles is one shutout shy of tying the Cleveland five shutouts in 2016 and Smith has called every pitch.
