Once again, it’s October. Once again, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the NL West champs, winning their ninth division title in ten years. I think this team has slightly more downside risk than other versions of the Dodgers we’ve seen over the last ten years ... but then again, this is the team that just recorded more wins than any National League team in the last 116 years.
A lot is going to be made of how strong Atlanta’s second half was, as the team that got off to a middling start ran down the Mets to win the NL East.
