Well, it’s not as if the Dodgers haven’t been in this exact spot before. They faced the same 3-1 deficit just a year ago against these same Braves in the NLCS before rattling off three straight wins in route to their first championship since 1988.
The circumstances are nearly identical to last season. The only real difference being that the Dodgers finished this season with the 2nd best record in baseball instead of the best record.
If they want to defend their title, they’ll have to do it one more time. Only 14 teams in baseball history have erased a 3-1 deficit.
