Right-hander Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers look to complete the sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers when they meet in Game 4 of their National League Championship Series on Friday. Los Angeles grabbed a commanding 3-0 series lead with a 3-1 win on Thursday.

The Toronto Blue Jays came back from one of the most crushing losses in franchise history to force a winner-take-all battle in the American League Championship Series, using a trio of double plays in consecutive innings to deny the Seattle Mariners their first trip ever to the World Series.

Maybe, if they played this series again — say, in a stretch when the Dodgers’ starting pitching wasn’t historically dominant — the Brewers would win it. They did, after all, beat the Dodgers in all six games they played in the regular season.

George Springer's three-run home run propelled the Toronto Blue Jays into the World Series, as they defeated the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night.
