And two of those 2-0 series comebacks happened in 1985: 1985 Cardinals over Dodgers and 1985 Royals over Blue Jays. The only team to to come back from a 0-2 deficit in the last 34 years? It's a pretty obvious answer, the 2004 Red Sox.

We can all agree this is a different post season -

There are no off days between games 2 and 3, or between 5 and 6. There is no opportunity to re-set your rotation or really rest your bullpen. You're playing everyday.

Good for the Braves for getting up 2-0, but these Dodgers are stout all the way around.

Games 4 and 5 will likely require the Braves to pitch one to 2 innings at a time, which is not a recipe for success.

But... the Dodgers now have to win 4 of the next 5 games, which they are capable of doing but... our Braves are stout as well.

History is on our side, but seven consecutive games and a depleted starting rotation makes this a tough series for the Braves.
Atlanta will need to come out on top of a home run derby type game.
Regardless, the pressure is all on the Dodgers at this point.
Ozuna has been a difference maker for the mental make up of this team. They’re playing relaxed and having fun. Freddie and Ozzie are on fire.

Well we've already blown 2-0 leads in a series before ('96 WS) so we should be good.

So that’s interesting that the only team to come back in the last 34 years is from New England.
