How Dodgers are navigating World Series bye week: ‘Keep sharpening your skills’
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman works out at Dodger Stadium on Monday.The Dodgers are getting their bye week after all this October.
Though the club didn’t secure a top-two seed in the National League playoff bracket — meaning they didn’t have a bye through the first round of the postseason as they had the previous three years — its sweep in the NL Championship Series meant that they had plenty of time to kill.
By the time Game 1 of the World Series begins Friday, the team will have had six days off, similar to the break they had at the start of the playoffs each of the past three seasons.
