Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound as Dodgers look to even NLCS after Game 1 loss to Brewers

There are a lot of people who will say that this series, for all intents and purposes, is the World Series.

I’m sure most think whoever escapes the National League Championship Series will end up as the winner.

I’m not quite sure I fit that description.

I think it is possible the Rays , and maybe to a lesser extent the Guardians, could beat either of these teams, but the NL will likely have the favorite in the World Series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers got to the postseason by being one of the best teams in baseball and winning the National League West.

They built their team by adding pieces each year.

This year in the offseason, they added a closer and the best hitter available.

During the season, they added Tarik Skubal, the best pitcher potentially on the planet, and he pitched yesterday.

The Dodgers have won two straight World Series and are looking for a third.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto seems to be one of the best postseason pitchers out there.

This year he made one start, going 1-0, allowing four hits and one earned run over seven innings.

He struck out 10 Braves in the 3-1 win for the Dodgers.
