Even though the Dodgers show a lower season-long strength, I think they've got more potential to be explosive and win big than most of the other teams. That's why I'm glad the Cardinals took over the #1 seed and were able to at least defer them to the 7-game NLCS instead of a 5-game NLDS. Both the Cardinals and Dodgers are favored to make it to that NLCS now, as a 1-game lead is big in this short series. And, the Cardinals are up to nearly a coin flip's chance of making the World Series.
