Dodgers' Rotation Is The Deciding Factor
- The Dodgers are winning because their starters are dominating and going deep into games.
- That rotation removes pressure on the bullpen and changes playoff matchups decisively.
Letting Starters Finish Changes Outcomes
- Dave Roberts letting starters finish games reflects the Dodgers' confidence in elite arms.
- That strategy contrasts with many teams that lean heavily on bullpens in October.
