On this fine Sunday, we are reminded that this is the calm before the storm which is going to be, potentially, seven straight days of baseball versus arguably the best team in all of baseball in the Los Angeles Dodgers. The winner is likely to be the favorite to win the World Series, so one could be excused from having some nervousness for this one.
While there are plenty of narratives about the Braves finally finding postseason success, the Dodgers have a lot to prove as well. As Demetrius wrote yesterday, LA has their own postseason demons to exorcise and given how well they have performed this year, they look to be as scary an opponent as ever.
