With the Philadelphia Phillies being part of the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers have always been a daunting obstacle for any contending team to face. The juggernauts of the NL West have been perennial contenders dating back to 2013. With the way that their roster has been built with stars in recent years, that dominance is likely to continue.
The Phillies got a firsthand taste of that dominance this past postseason when they faced the Dodgers in the NLDS. Unfortunately, it has left a sour taste in their mouths as they were dispatched in four games, including a heartbreaking game-ending play in Game 4.
