It ended up they way it should be, I guess, or at least the way it used to be, as the two teams with the best records will face off at the end.
The Dodgers pulled off an improbable comeback. They were down 3-1 in games, then won three in a row. They were down in this game, then pulled off a string of miracles (see the double play below) and some astounding relief pitching, as their last three relievers combined on six innings of no-hit ball.
Not your typical double play, but one the @Dodgers needed. 😱 #NLCS pic.twitter.com/0mgrqRF9Xa

The Braves arguably lost two games because of terrible base-running, making the kind of mistakes you would expect in a Little League game. They really didn’t deserve to win.
I had exactly the same thought.
