The Los Angeles Dodgers will avoid an NLDS upset for a third year in a row. With a tight 2-0 win over the San Diego Padres in Game 5 at home on Friday, the Dodgers won their first playoff series of the current postseason format. It is the first postseason series victory of Shohei Ohtani’s MLB career. Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers will play the wild-card New York Mets in the best-of-seven NLCS starting Sunday night in Los Angeles. The Padres and Dodgers combined to retire 26 consecutive batters — the longest streak in a single game in postseason history.
