Feels like they were a wildcard team despite winning the division. Its because they didn't really clinch it until game 163. |
Glad the team didn’t lose to Colorado and end up playing the Brewers in the Division Series instead. |

So what does the rotation look like now? Kershaw on Tuesday, Hill on Wednesday and Ryu at Dodger Stadium in game 3? Buehler could also pitch game 3. |
I would throw Buehler in Game 3 for sure. You don't want to line him up for potentially only 1 start in the entire series. Get him in for Game 3, and then not only is he lined up for a Game 7, but maybe for a potential relief appearance in a Game 6 on three days' rest. Kershaw is definitely going in Game 1. So that just leaves Hill and Ryu for Games 2 and 4. Whichever one you start in Game 4 is going to be that guy's only start of the series, most likely, although you could potentially come back with your Game 4 starter on three days' rest to pitch a short stint in a Game 7, especially if Buehler is called on in a Game 6. But if you start Ryu in Game 2 (on regular rest, by the way), that means that, once again, he won't get a start at Dodger Stadium. I'm really not sure how I'd play it. |

LA vs Boston: The World Series edition..
I don't think that's happened before right?
MLB should be glad two big market teams.. considering the NFL isn't so hot these days they should get monster ratings too. |

Guaranteed there will be good ratings for this series considering how big each of their fanbases are.
Will be a rematch of the 1916 World Series. |

LA vs Boston with a twist.
I'm rooting for Boston obviously but may the best team win.
For me, the Red Sox are ranked 2nd right behind the Celtics.
I really dislike Manny Machado's dirty plays. Other than that, I don't have a strong dislike for the Dodgers and even have fond memories of Dave Roberts for his obvious contribution in 2004.

Wow a rematch 102 years later  |

| Well now that there’s a DH it really opens up some options. We might see more of Kemp this series who imo got shafted a bit in the NLCS. |

I really enjoyed this game. I haven't watched a baseball game in years, but Game 7s are always fun and I had nothing better to do. I was extremely hyped for the Puig homer  and that one outfield catch when it was 1-2. |

Was actually a pretty good pitch. Off the outside corner, just above the knee. Dude had to reach out to get that one. |

So excited to be still rooting for the Dodgers this time of year! We are the underdogs this year. Hah, I’ll take it! Injuries slowed this Dodger team down a lot this season. Our regular season record is deceptive. Look out Boston, the underdogs are coming for you.
I’d very much like to beat Boston in the World Series and in the NBA Championship this year. Make it so! |

Despite the longer odds than last year, Dodgers have a good chance to win it all this year simply because they have 2 elements they didn't have last year.
Dealing with adversity, they struggled to be a .500 team early in the year and were in danger of making the playoffs. Injuries were a setback and despite that they still made the World Series. Experience would be another they have on the Red Sox. The know how to play in tough environments, from playing in indoor stadiums like Miller Park and Minute Maid Park last year, Fenway will actually be a lot less noisy. Also they know how to deal with being down and out and come back to win in big games and just making the World Series isn't satisfying after last year. No deer in the headlights this year, they will compete until the final out. |

Our pitching is also better this year, and we can be certain we will not be Darvished. |

| We have more options after Kerhsaw this year. With the emergence of Buehler and Ryu having big games in the postseason, we aren't as thin on the starting pitching ranks. Also Rich Hill can have big games as well on occasion. It feels a lot better when Kershaw isn't forced to shoulder the entire burden of our pitching rotation. |

Good luck. The Red Sox have been the best team all year. I don't see many weaknesses.

This year, Puig has been a top 7 slugger on thst pitch. I’ve been saying it all series but that is what he hits. He missed a lot but he finally connected - couldn’t have asked for a better time. |

| Thought Puig or Taylor deserved NLCS MVP over Belli, but glad he got it. hopefully it wakens his bat -- would love to see him explode for a few games. He's done it in the RS a few times now |
