The Dodgers went into the National League Division Series knowing they had already beaten the opposing Nationals five of six in the regular season, that they matched up well with Washington's heavily right-handed starting rotation and that the Nationals were banged up. None of those perceived advantages apply in the Dodgers' NL Championship Series against the Cubs, who were the best team in baseball this year. The best-of-seven series starts Saturday (8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on FS1).
