The National League Championship Series starts on Monday, October 13th. It will feature one of the St. Louis Cardinals’ division rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers, versus the reigning World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bleacher Report, CBS Sports, and ESPN MLB experts are siding with the Dodgers to return to the World Series.
Now, I don’t particularly enjoy watching a National League Central divisional rival go to the NLCS. Especially one with a fanbase that once taunted Tony La Russa’s struggle with shingles back in 2011. However, exceptions can be made.
