It took 162 games for the Dodgers to get 106 wins in 2021 but it ultimately wasn’t quite good enough. You see, the Giants sold their souls to be the best in baseball… or, you know, they were just consistently very great all season long.
So now it’s come to this for Los Angeles. The road to repeat has a speed bump and they call it the Wild Card game. Do or die. Win or go home. Elimination game… for those with nightmares of that NLDS game 5 back in 2019, this is certainly a scary time.
