Dodger starting pitching this post season has been phenomenal,

not so much their bullpen though.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is pitching another gem tonight to follow on where Blake Snell left off last night.

Ohtani is in a huge slump, though. He he gets out of it soon.

Dave Roberts might just let him try to finish the game.
When was the last time a starting pitcher went 9 full innings in the playoffs?

Luckily the Dodger line up is so deep that Ohtani's slump isn't that critical, you've got Betts, Freeman, both Hernandez's, Muncy, etc.

Game 1 Snell threw 8 innings 1 hit 10K

Even the Brewers said they just had hot hands.

The postgame vibe: The Brewers had no answers as it relates to beating the Dodgers' pitching right now, admitting they might have just witnessed the best two games pitched against them all season.

Holding the Brewers to 2 runs in as many games is amazing.
