The Dodgers’ chances of advancing to the World Series rest heavily in the arms of Clayton Kershaw, Kenley Jansen and Rich Hill, sure. But for there to be a Game 7 of the NLCS, let alone a trip to Cleveland for the World Series, the Dodgers need the offense to produced beginning on Saturday night in Game 6 of the NLCS against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The Dodgers are hitting .228/.322/.355 this postseason, and averaging 3.6 runs per game. But they aren’t alone.
The Cubs are hitting .221/.282/.381, but are averaging 4.8 runs per game.
