Dodgers' Dominance
The Dodgers have taken an early lead, outperforming the Brewers. This is the first time since 1970 that two road teams in a League Championship Series have won both opening games.
Both number one seeds have looked overmatched in the same 72-hour period, which is surprising. The Dodgers and Seattle Mariners have achieved something that hasn't been seen in 55 years, as noted by Sarah Langs.
- In 1970, the Cincinnati Reds took the first two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium.
- The 1970 Baltimore Orioles scored 21 runs and took the first two games against the Minnesota Twins at Metropolitan Stadium.
Both League Championship Series ended in three-game sweeps. The Orioles then won the World Series against the Reds in five games.
History repeats itself, but one hopes for a different outcome this time.
