The Los Angeles Dodgers played a 162 game season and have added four more games in the playoffs and it all comes down to a one game season. It is one of the Dodgers aces, Zack Greinke versus one of the New York Mets young guns, Jacob deGrom. DeGrom wore the Dodgers out in the first game of the series by striking out 13 and only giving up one run. Greinke won his only game of the series as well, giving up two runs in seven innings in what will be forever known as the "Utley slide" game.
This is the way baseball should be. Ace versus ace, winner take all, and move on to the next round to play against the Chicago Cubs. There is already talk of Clayton Kershaw being available in the bullpen on one day's rest. I am hoping it will not come to that but manager Mattingly and the Dodgers have to be willing to use the entire bench if it will win them this game.
