Game 5 NLDS: Dodgers at Giants

The two best words in sports: Game Five.

Oh wait, that’s not right. The two best words in sports are Game Seven. But since the Dodgers and their 106 wins had to settle for the wild card, this is the closest we’ll get. Sure, we would have loved to see a seven-game series for the two best teams in baseball, but at least we’re getting all five of the scheduled division series games.

And it wouldn’t be a winner-take-all elimination game without some drama. Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are going with the opener strategy, starting Corey Knebel instead of Julio Urias.
