The NLCS is upon us, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are prepared to face off against the same tired, old storyline that just won't go away. While it's the Milwaukee Brewers who have home-field advantage on the strength of their major league-leading 97 wins, the matchup is being billed as a David and Goliath-type showdown with LA once again donning the role of the big bad villain.
Yes, that's right, the payroll arguments are out again in full force. The Dodgers, as we all know, have the largest payroll in the sport at $350 million, while the Brewers are coming in at a paltry $122 million, ranking 22nd.
