Bottom of the order contributions marked a series win
Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr., Mookie Betts, and Matt Olson; the list of quote-unquote star players who weren’t able to impact the NLDS in the way we’ve grown to expect from them is long.

Battle of Tylers decides Game 4 of the NLDS
The only Dodger more excited for this game than Max Muncy, who finally gets a chance to start once again after sitting against a pair of left-handers, is Tyler Glasnow.

Playoffs will eventually demand more from the Dodgers offense
The Dodgers’ outlook wasn’t as dire as it might’ve looked after the Game 2 loss at home, just as it is not as ideal as it could appear following a Game 3 win on the road against the Braves’ ace. When it comes to their fate in this specific series, the Dodgers are well positioned […]
