Dodgers have drunk the Brewers’ milkshake so far
Not since 1970 have the two road teams in a League Championship Series taken both opening games of the LCS.
Seeing both number one seeds of this tournament look so overmatched over the same 72-hour window is a bit shocking to see for the uninitiated.
The Dodgers and Seattle Mariners have pulled off something in postseason play not seen in 55 years, per Sarah Langs:
The 1970 Cincinnati Reds stormed into Three Rivers Stadium and took the first two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 1970 Baltimore Orioles brought the flock and fury into Metropolitan Stadium by scoring 21 runs and took the first two games against the Minnesota Twins.
Both League Championship Series ended in three-game sweeps. The Orioles swiftly dispatched the Reds in the World Series via a gentleman’s sweep in five games.
If history repeats itself, one hopes for a slightly different outcome.
