World Series Notes
Tonight for the ninth time in franchise history, the Dodgers having done so both in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, will play a home game 3 of a best of seven series, having lost the first two games on the road.
The Dodgers were victorious in the previous 8 such situations and in fact, the Dodgers or their opponent in such a situation, are (12-1), the only loss by the Cubs in last year’s NLCS to the Dodgers.
That situation is the only one before tonight after the post (shown below) I wrote with the facts on the first twelve times, either the Dodgers or their opponent returned home for game 3 of a best of seven series, having lost the first two games on the road.
