We hope you checked your swing (sorry, Wilmer Flores).

The Dodgers took down the Giants in Game 5 of the NLDS on Thursday night to set up a NLCS rematch with the Braves. The Dodgers bested the Braves in seven games last year en route to their World Series victory, overcoming a 3-1 series deficit.

Los Angeles enters the series as the World Series favorites, while the Braves are the long shots, according to SI Sportsbook.

The Dodgers are a juggernaut and could be the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1999-2000 Yankees.
