00:00DRS there was never a question about the Dodgers offensively or the all-star
00:07lineup at the dish. The question for LA to reach the ultimate goal as a World
00:13Series champ, how would the pitching perform in October? Well here as of late
00:18it has been lights out. It has been legitimately shut out. The Dodgers
00:26planked the Mets in game number one of the LCS. 9-0 the victory at the
00:32ravine yesterday. The Dodgers were a minus 162 home money line favorite. Total
00:38of 8 does go over because of a bases clearing double from Mookie Betts later
00:44in the game to cap off a wonderful night in LA for the Dodgers. The Mets only
00:51able to record three base knocks. Make it 33 consecutive innings DRS for Los
00:57Angeles without allowing a single run. That is the most we have seen an MLB
01:05postseason history matching a record from the 1967 Baltimore Orioles. Yeah
01:12when you're going good you're going good here. The Dodgers the issue was never
01:15that lineup. They posted nine runs. It was questioning what you're gonna get
01:18out of your starting pitchers and your bullpen. They've been nothing short of
01:21phenomenal but here's what I like about the Dodgers. Advanced scouting
01:24absolutely spectacular and a lineup that can execute. Kodai Senga pitch against
01:28the Philadelphia Phillies. First at bat launch missile 440 feet into the seats
01:33here. Yeah you probably could have had him to say no and he's gonna be rattled
01:35but Phillies unlike the Dodgers swing at everything which includes not even ever
01:39throwing a strike to them. So what did the Dodgers do against Kodai Senga? You
01:43know what we've watched him not be able to throw strikes. Let's just be patient
01:46here. An inning and two thirds four walks three earned runs. That game was
01:49over immediately because they understood the task at hand. Swing at strikes. Don't
01:54swing at balls. Take the free bases. Come up with clutch base hits and they did
01:57that all night long. Five of 11 with runners in scoring position the Dodgers
02:01were. You take a look at the Mets. Only five runners left on base and only three
02:04of those even got batting attempts here with a runner in scoring position. A
02:08phenomenal effort from the Dodgers which is supposed to happen here. The Mets
02:12played great baseball down the stretch. Played a couple dead baseball teams. Now
02:15they're showing up against the Dodgers and they're struggling. The key is gonna
02:18be now though. How long does this shutout streak go? Because the one thing we do
02:22know is the pressure starts a bit. It's a seven game series. So you get a little
02:25more leeway than the three and the five games. But the New York Mets didn't score
02:28a run. When as we get into the third inning and the fourth inning and the
02:31fifth inning tent where they don't score. Now you start pressing and it starts
02:34getting even harder. You need a big performance out of the Mets in game
02:38number two just to make sure you score a run over the first three innings so that
02:42streak just doesn't bury you.
