Can Dodgers Flip A 3-Game Deficit? Big Papi, Jeter, A-Rod Know It Can Happen

If the Dodgers want to make it three straight World Series titles, they must now win four straight games against the Brewers in the NL Championship Series.

Improbable? Yes.

Impossible? No.

Just ask someone who was an integral figure in one of MLB's most historic comebacks.

MLB on FOX analyst David "Big Papi" Ortiz, who helped the Boston Red Sox overcome a three-game ALCS deficit in 2004 against the New York Yankees, said it's time for the Dodgers to play like there is nothing to lose.

"It's funny how that works, because you feel more pressure at the beginning of the series than when you are 0-and-3 because once you get there, when you hit bottom like that, it feels like you have got nothing to lose," Ortiz said after the Brewers' 6-2 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday night in Game 3.

History is certainly not on the Dodgers' side.

In all best-of-seven postseason series, teams with a 3-0 lead have gone on to win the series 41 of 42 times, with 32 of those series being sweeps.

Only two teams have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 – and only that 2004 Red Sox squad have come all the way back to win.

So what would Ortiz tell the Dodgers about taking that first step? "There's no more room to go back.

All you gotta do is just move forward.

You hit bottom already.

Let's just let things happen.

Let's not try to get three hits in one at-bat.
