If the Dodgers are going to advance and look like that, the Phillies will have their work cut out for them.
Los Angeles looked like the reigning World Series champions in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against the Reds on Tuesday night. They had 15 hits, six of them in three innings against superb Reds starter Hunter Greene. They hit five homers, including four from two players.
One of those two was Shohei Ohtani, who started the postseason by doing Shohei Ohtani stuff: a 117.7-mph leadoff homer on a 100.4-mph fastball from Greene, then a 454-foot blast on a Connor Phillips sweeper.
