Franchise altering game tonight for the Dodgers.

Recall that they've been knocked out on the first round in both 2022 and 2023, and haven't won a full season World Series since 1988, despite making the postseason every year since 2013 (and winning the division title every year except one).

The Padres are admittedly a tough team. They had the best record in MLB since the All Star Break.

Still, the Dodgers need to finally get past the NLDS and get the playoff choke monkey off their back.

Game 5 in LA today. Yamamoto starts. Lord help us.

Considered going but tickets are ridiculously expensive. I'll check again at 2pm just in case they fall.
