The Dodgers are -220 favorites at BetMGM, meaning Vegas gives the Dodgers about a 69 percent chance of winning.

But here's an interesting bit of trivia from the Athletic/NY Times:

quote:

Since the LCS round went to best of seven in 1985, there have been four times in which one team won their series 4-0 while the other team went seven games.

1988: A’s swept Red Sox / Dodgers beat Mets in seven

2006: Tigers swept A’s / Cardinals beat Mets in seven

2007: Rockies swept D-Backs / Red Sox beat Cleveland in seven

2012: Tigers swept Yankees / Giants beat Cardinals in seven

The casual baseball historians among us will have already figured out the angle: The team that went to seven games won the World Series all four times.

A few extra days of rest are good but eventually rust starts to form.

People bitch about the division/wild card format because the higher seeds sit at home and get rusty. We’ll see how it plays out with these two clubs.

Dodgers have the talent advantage, but man that jays team is scrappy and they can pitch with anybody.

The movement Bassitt was getting on his sweeper and sinker last night was insane

LA is the Yankees of the 80/90s. Money can't buy you love but it can buy you a world series championship, ala George Steinbrenner.

I don’t like the Jays, but I really really hope they beat the Dodgers.

Dodgers players should be ashamed of themselves.

They actually had a pretty solid core of role players on all those teams.

I hate the Dodgers. But I gotta root for them because can’t have the damn Canadians winning hockey and baseball.
