MLB Playoffs 2018: Early World Series Odds for Dodgers vs. Red Sox

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced extreme pressure heading into the seventh game of the National League Championship Series and ended up handling that situation with flying colors.

As a result, the Dodgers are going back to the World Series for the second year in a row.

The Dodgers used a two-run home run from Cody Bellinger in the second inning and a three-run shot from Yasiel Puig in the sixth inning to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 and win the National League pennant. The Dodgers beat the Brewers four games to three in the NLCS.

Walker Buehler gave up a first-inning home run to Christian Yelich, but the Brewers were not able to do any further damage against the 24-year-old righthander and the four Dodgers relievers.
