This year in baseball we are approaching the world series which will take place between October 23 – 31 2018. We have excitedly watched the playoffs happening and currently are watching to see who from the American League and National League will play for the world series.
Last year was a disappointing turnout for the LA Dodgers losing in the seventh game to the Astros. As for me being a Dodgers fan and excitedly watching the season play out it was not a happy ending, but we have high hopes to win one more game than last year in the world series. In baseball you have to win four of the seven games played to be the world champion. The Dodgers tied with the Astros last year up until the seventh game, where the Astros became the world champions of 2017. But it’s a new season and with the championship in the horizon we Dodgers fans are watching to see if our team will have a chance this season to win one more game than we did last year.
This season ended in a very unique way for two teams in different divisions, they tied at the end of the regular season, forcing 163. The winner of game 163 would win their division, and the loser would go on to play in a wild-card game. The outcome was good for the Dodgers, they beat the Rockies winning their division.
The Dodgers, now in the NLDS (National League Division Series) are up two games to zero having only to win three to move on into the National League Championship Series. As I am writing this, the Dodgers are tied with the Braves five -five. If the baseball gods are smiling favorably among my Dodgers, we will be moving to the next round, the NLCS.
