While the Philadelphia Phillies were hanging around waiting for the Wild Card Series to finish, fans were hoping that the Cincinnati Reds could have pushed the Los Angeles Dodgers to a Game 3. Instead, the Dodgers did what everyone expected by bludgeoning the Reds in two quick games at Dodger Stadium.
Los Angeles will now head to Philadelphia to face the Phillies in the National League Division Series beginning on Saturday evening. Just to make things more challenging, thanks to the Reds being unable to force a third and deciding game in the Wild Card, the Dodgers will be starting Shohei Ohtani in Game 1 of the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park.
