LOS ANGELES — Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Opening Day at historic Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. Let’s get ready for Dodger baseball!
For 29 teams, the season begins in late March. For the Dodgers, it’s the first pitch of Game 1 of the NLDS. On Thursday, the man who delivered that fastball was righty Walker Buehler, who led L.A. to a smooth 6–0 victory over the Nationals.
Nothing the Dodgers have done to this point matters if they don’t win the World Series. We said that in 2017, when they won 104 games and lost in seven games to the Astros.
