If the regular-season series between the Cubs and Dodgers is any indication, this is going to be a low-scoring, very close NLDS.
In the six games between the two teams, there were a total of 37 runs scored, there were two one-run games, two two-run games, a three-run game and a four-run game. There were no blowouts, and there was lots of good pitching. Even though the Cubs are the best-hitting team in the National League, and the Cubs will see Manny Ramirez for the first time as a member of the Dodgers, look for well-pitched, low-scoring games.
I don't think that's going to happen. Even though the NL team with the best record has won the World Series only once in the last 22 years (the 1995 Braves), this is the year the Cubs will finally win it all. But it won't be easy.
Prediction: Cubs in 5.
