Dodgers' Friedman: No clear-cut answer for playoff flop
Andrew Friedman is still trying to make sense of how things went so wrong for the Los Angeles Dodgers this October. The Dodgers president of baseball operations is digesting one of the worst -- if not the worst -- collapse in team postseason history. After posting a franchise-record 111 wins and making their 10th consecutive playoff appearance, they lost 3-1 in the NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres, a team they beat 14-5 in the regular season.

mlive.comMLB predictions: Expect the Dodgers to win convincingly on Sunday
Los Angeles is loaded at nearly all positions, and they’ll look to close out the sweep with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. The Dodgers run line -1.5 could be a more attractive option if you’re looking to back the home side, as it sits at -105 at FanDuel. Sunday’s MLB best bet: Dodgers -1.5 (-105 at FanDuel)The Dodgers were able to win and cover the run line in each of the first three contests to begin the series, while dominating by a combined score of 18-9. Los Angeles is a team that when we like them to win, we’d rather back them on the run line. Typically, the prices for a Dodgers money line bet can get out of hand with a ton of public action.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — No dogpile, no champagne and a mask on nearly every face — the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their first World Series title since 1988 in a manner no one could have imagined prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
