Monday, the Dodgers powered past the Atlanta Braves, and are set to face the Milwaukee Brewers in their third consecutive trip to the NLCS.

Well baseball fans, the Dodgers did it. They went from being in second place to win the National League division series in the span of about two weeks. Many thought they could do it, but at the end of the day, we can’t predict this game. With hard work, talent, and one of the strongest fan bases in baseball behind them, the Dodgers needed four games to beat the Atlanta Braves in a best of five series.

For the Dodgers, this series was built upon starting pitching. The bullpen only gave up one run during the entire series; a home run to Freddie Freeman, given up by former Brave, Alex Wood. Walker Buehler had a rough outing on Sunday but looks to bounce back against the Brewers as the Dodgers head north to Wisconsin.

Now, after a series-win sized celebration, the Dodgers fly to Milwaukee but, before we look forward to a series sure to be a great one, let’s look back at the four games of this NLDS.
