[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The defending Dodgers will strive for three consecutive championships this year and will start the National League Division Series with the Warriors tomorrow. Major League Baseball official website reporter Anthony Castrovince wrote an article comparing the two teams' 9 fielding positions, designated hitters, starting rotations and bullpens, and predicted that the Dodgers are expected to eliminate the Warriors in 4 games and advance to the National League Championship Game.
Castruvins listed that the Dodgers have advantages in the starting rotation, catcher, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder and designated hitter, while the Braves have the upper hand in the bullpen, first baseman, center fielder and right fielder.

In the designated hit section, Castrovans pointed out that Dodgers Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani's hitting measurements this season were .275/.377/.512, 30 home runs, and 26 doubles. This is already a low point year, which is enough to show how special he is. Ohtani's offensive index in 33 playoff games in his career is as high as 0.940. After being forced to stop pitching due to injury, it is worth paying attention to whether he can be full of firepower again.
As for the designated hitter part of the Warriors, if star catcher Drake Baldwin is not squatting, he will appear in this position. Otherwise, Dominic Smith will serve as the designated hitter. However, Smith's offensive index since June is only 0.563, so the Dodgers still have an advantage in designated hitting.
Castruvins concluded that the age of the Dodgers' team has seen some warning signs from the decline in scoring and the injuries that have occurred throughout the season. Although their winning odds may be more than twice that of other teams, it does not mean that they can avoid slumps in the line or the bullpen. Collapse, the Warriors' record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the regular season has proven this; however, after the Dodgers' starting rotation has had enough rest days, it is difficult not to be optimistic about the Warriors who have just played 3 wild card games. Therefore, the final prediction is that the Dodgers will eliminate the Warriors in 4 games.
