    Dodger fan here. I wouldn’t count any chickens before they hatch. 3-1 is a good lead, but it’s led to a series upset something like 14 times in MLB postseasons. And the Dodgers leading 3-2 is an even more tenuous situation than it appears. Game 6 will likely be a bullpen game, and game 7 will be Buehler, with maybe Yamamoto coming in relief if absolutely necessary. Today was LA’s best remaining pitcher matchup, and the pitching staff couldn’t record a single strikeout.

    Also, it has been 11 times in over a century of baseball. It hasn’t been a recent matchup that people would be tired of, it’s just the usual complaints/griping about large market teams.
