2016 World Series: Dodgers vs. Indians
If it weren’t for the Giants, the Dodgers might not find themselves in the World Series.
The only team in the NL capable of looking the Cubs in the face and leaving them with nowhere to go in the next round is the Giants — hands down.

Los Angeles wouldn’t be able to go toe-to-toe with the Cubs despite any solid outing on the mound.
Now that the World Series is cleared up, the Dodgers have their work cut out for them should they face the Indians.
Los Angeles is in a World Series drought themselves, and this looks like the season where it all comes together and finally clicks.
The Dodgers are a team that’s been capable of a lot but has underachieved a great deal.
Now, at Cleveland’s expense, the Dodgers will douse themselves in champagne after the final out.
Prediction:
GM 1 – Los Angeles 1, Cleveland 8
GM 2 – Los Angeles 5, Cleveland 4
GM 3 – Cleveland 9, Los Angeles 3
GM 4 – Cleveland 1, Los Angeles 10
GM 5 – Los Angeles 7, Cleveland 3
GM 6 – Cleveland 1, Los Angeles 6
Series: Los Angeles, 4-2
