The 2019 Dodgers, the team that broke the all-time franchise record for most wins during a regular season, find themselves in a do-or-die situation as they prepare for the Game 5 NLDS decider against the Nationals on Wednesday.
Of course, it was not supposed to work out this way, at least in the eyes of those close to the Boys in Blue. However, upon breaking down the entire NLDS on paper, the fact that the series has run its full course is not surprising at all.
The Nationals secured their two wins behind their two workhorse arms, Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer.
