You knew going into this series that the Los Angeles Dodgers were better than the San Francisco Giants. There is nothing that could possibly have changed your mind.
The Giants could have swept the Dodgers and you wouldn’t have entertained the thought that they were as good.
They could have thrown two no-hitters while scoring 35 runs and you would’ve felt confident asserting that the Dodgers were the superior team.
The Giants could have dug deep into their imagination, paid their entire creative team overtime, and come up with the most elaborately sensational plans for the series, and it would’ve been for naught.
