The Dodgers head back to Los Angeles with a 2-0 lead in the series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take the mound on Wednesday after the team secured two strong wins in Philadelphia. It was surprising to see the Dodgers pull off both victories on the road, especially with the bullpen underperforming, but they managed to close things out thanks to Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, who has been excellent in the closer role.

Now just one win away from another NLCS appearance, the Dodgers await the winner of the Cubs–Brewers series. A repeat championship looks very possible if the offense continues to produce and the bullpen can find its rhythm.
