    I will not watch one second of the World Series if it's the Dodgers vs. the Yankees.

    Darvish puttin' in work. Dodgers fans threw a ball near Profar apparently lol. Hopefully this delay won't throw him off his rhythm.

    This see it correctly? Six hr for Padres? Did someone mix up the balls? The juiced balls were meant for the Dodgers lol

    Dodgers starting pitching is a legitimate concern for how far they can truly go. Nobody has ever navigated the playoffs by simply out-slugging everybody.

    Can they even get a quality start or a 5 inning start from any of their starters? And while the off-days shouldn't over-tire a bullpen, it gets a little more dicier the next round (or the world series) where that middle 3 game stretch does impact usage.

    Carpenter is a budding superstar, but he'll need to figure out how to hit lefties to get there.

    Tigers might ride Skubal all the way to the World Series.

    He'll pitch game 5 on regular rest. Cleveland is in trouble.
