Corey the Key To the Playoffs?
The Dodgers will be entering the playoffs as the overwhelming favorite to capture their first World Series championship since 1988. They will start the playoffs as the best team in MLB; however, there have been more than a handful of Wild Card teams that have won the WS, and by definition they were not the best team in MLB for the season. But they were the best at the end. Thus, getting out of the Wild Card round will be the most daunting, especially this year. The Reds have a fantastic opportunity with their three starters in Bauer, Castillo, and Gray to make it to the NLDS. It is a bit comforting that the Dodgers will not face the Reds in the Wild Card series.
