Dodgers' Dominance in LCS
The Dodgers have taken a strong lead, outperforming the Brewers so far.
Not since 1970 have both road teams in a League Championship Series won the opening games of the LCS.
This unusual turn of events is surprising, especially considering the top seeds' performance.
Seeing both number one seeds of this tournament look so overmatched over the same 72-hour window is a bit shocking to see for the uninitiated.
According to Sarah Langs, the Dodgers and Seattle Mariners have achieved something unprecedented in 55 years.
- In 1970, the Cincinnati Reds won the first two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- The 1970 Baltimore Orioles took the first two games against the Minnesota Twins, scoring 21 runs.
Both League Championship Series ended in three-game sweeps, with the Orioles winning the World Series in five games.
