We've said it before, the playoffs are a crap-shoot. We've had enough talent to win arguably every year but 2016. One of these days, we'll break through. Hopefully it's tonight.
Yea, baseball is a game where in small sample sizes (IE the playoffs) crazy things happen. A bad pitcher can pitch a gem. A great pitcher can get crushed. A great hitter can go in a slump. A bad hitter can run into a few. 7 games at least gives more of a chance to normalize, but 5 games can be wild. The best team isn't always going to win the series. The Dodgers have the better regular season team due to their depth. For the postseason...we're pretty evenly matched.
