Now it’s time for the National League to have their time to shine here on the blog as yesterday we looked at the head-to-head matchups for the four teams currently in the ALDS. Now we shift to the NLDS that gets kick started tonight with those matchups from 2016. All that and about $15 gets you a beer inside Dodger Stadium these days but it’s still interesting to look at anyway as long as you don’t put much stock into this. They call it the second season for a reason.

I’m sorry goes out to the San Francisco Giants and their fans but no one is
stopping the Chicago Cubs in the National League playoffs. Too much youth, too
much talent and too good of a coach and manager to let this one slip away. Cubs
to the NLCS.
Cubs in four
The Dodgers have never impressed me much in the playoffs
during my life period and I can’t see them doing so this postseason. Their
postseason hinges on the left arm of Clayton Kershaw and unless he is able to
find and flick the switch that is turned off every time he takes a mound in the
postseason then it could be a long series for the Dodgers.
Nationals in five.
