Dodgers News: NLDS Stage is Set, 2017 Astros Questioned Again, LA ‘Overrated’, and More

After a long 5 days without games, it’s almost time for Dodger Baseball again. Before entering the mini hiatus, the Dodgers faced the Rockies a few more times. In their final six games of the regular season, the Dodgers topped Colorado 3 times to end with a regular season record of 111-51, a franchise best.

Both Clayton Kershaw and Julio Urias had their final starts of the regular season where they both showed promise for a strong October. Urias once again proved why he deserves a lot more respect from the Baseball world and even better, a shot at taking home the Cy Young Award.

In the meantime, Doc has been finalizing that postseason roster still. Who will get the last spot and what’s the update on the Dodgers Bullpen?
