The Colorado Rockies will take on the Milwaukee Brewers in one matchup after a dramatic 2-1 win in 13 innings over the Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card Game.The reigning NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers will square off against the young Atlanta Braves in the other matchup Jaime Garcia Jersey , and one of those four teams will be playing in the World Series later this month.Let's not get ahead of ourselves, though. First, the NLDS.Ahead you'll find all the pertinent scheduling and TV info, as well as a quick preview of both matchups:Milwaukee Brewers vs. Colorado RockiesDavid DahlMatthew Stockman/Getty ImagesGame 1 at MIL: Thursday, October 4 (5:07 p.m. ET, FS1)Game 2 at MIL: Friday, October 5 (4:15 p.m. ET, FS1)Game 3 at COL: Sunday, October 7 (4:37 p.m. ET, MLB Network)Game 4 at COL: Monday, October 8 (TBD, FS1)Game 5 at MIL: Wednesday, October 10 (TBD, FS1)The Brewers secured the best record in the National League and home-field advantage through the NLDS and NLCS with their Game 163 win over the Chicago Cubs, and now they're ready to square off against the upstart Rockies.Both teams finished the year strong, with the Brewers going 19-7 with a plus-67 run differential in September, and the Rockies not far behind at 19-9 with a plus-59 differential.The two teams met seven times during the regular season, with their most recent meeting coming in early August. The Brewers won five of seven, including taking three of four at Coors Field.The Brewers will open the series with a "bullpen day" before turning to Jhoulys Chacin on short rest in Game 2, and the bullpen will be the key to them making a deep postseason run.Jeremy Jeffress, Corey Knebel and Josh Hader form a dominant three-headed monster in the late innings http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , veterans Joakim Soria and Dan Jennings are both capable middle relievers and rookies Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff can provide multiple innings.They'll have their hands full shutting down a Rockies offense that has been firing on all cylinders of late. Nolan Arenado and David Dahl both finished the regular season on fire, Trevor Story had an MVP-type season and Charlie Blackmon remains as dangerous as any table-setter in the game.Meanwhile, young starters Kyle Freeland and German Marquez have enjoyed breakout seasons to help turn the rotation into a strength for the Rockies for the first time in years.The Rockies will need to score early to have a chance. The Brewers will need theirstarting pitching to provide something, or they risk running the relief corps ragged.Prediction:Brewers in 4Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta BravesHyun-Jin RyuJason O. Watson/Getty ImagesGame 1 at LAD: Thursday, October 4 (8:37 p.m. ET, MLB Network)Game 2 at LAD: Friday, October 5 (9:37 p.m. ET, FSI)Game 3 at ATL: Sunday, October 7 (8:07 p.m. ET, FS1)Game 4 at ATL: Monday, October 8 (TBD, FS1)Game 5 at LAD: Wednesday, October 10 (TBD, FS1)The Dodgers have won six straight division titles and reached the NLCS in three of the past five seasons.The Braves are in the playoffs for the first time since 2013, and only Freddie Freeman and Julio Teheran remain from that roster.With the four-man rotation of Clayton Kershaw (6 GS, 3-0, 3.89 ERA), Walker Buehler (6 GS, 2-1, 1.62 ERA), Hyun-Jin Ryu (5 GS Freddy Galvis Jersey , 3-2, 1.50 ERA) and Rich Hill (5 GS, 5-0, 3.90 ERA) all pitching well over the final month of the season, the Dodgers are going to be tough to beat.For the first time during their recent run of playoff trips, it will be someone other than Kershaw on the mound in Game 1 of the NLDS, as Ryu will get the start.Bill Plaschke of theLos Angeles Times wrote: "Ryu loves pitching in Dodger Stadium, witness his 1.15 earned-run average in nine games there this season. Ryu also loves pitching in big moments, as he threw seven scoreless innings in the showdown series opener against Colorado in mid-September, then gave up one run in six innings during crunch time in San Francisco last weekend."If the soon-to-be-free-agent lefty can keep pitching at a high level, it would provide a huge boost for the Dodgers.The Braves shouldn't be counted out, though.With Ronald Acuna Jr. setting the table and veterans Freddie Freeman and Nick Markakis shouldering the run-production load, they're capable of getting to that impressive Dodgers staff.Meanwhile,the trio of Mike Foltynewicz, Anibal Sanchez and Kevin Gausman atop the rotation has a chance to be formidable, with lefty Sean Newcomb or the aforementioned Teheran likely taking the ball in Game 4.The Braves were counted out by many before the season started, and then again when the Philadelphia Phillies seemed poised to take control of the division at the end of July, yet here they are.There's no question they're underdogs, but stranger things have happened.Prediction:Dodgers in 5Odds to Reach World Series (via OddsShark)Dodgers: +170Brewers: +250Rockies: +325Braves: +520All stats courtesy of Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, unless otherwise noted.

Sure, the year isn’t over yet, and one particular article (in the top 5) could still move in the rankings, but here we go.#10Just this month, we’ve had two articles hit our 10 top for the year. Cracking the list is Chase’s piece on how the Angels offense could turn “elite”. That article didn’t get a lot of comments thanks to the Cahill and Harvey articles, but it sure did get the views!#9Only 48 comments on this one, but it landed at #9 as the Angels announced one of many coaching changes. Billy Eppler stole Doug White from the Astros, hoping to bring some of their pitching magic to Anaheim.#8Not a surprise that a post game with Ohtani as the headliner made the top 10. In this case, it was Ohtani playing the hero with his bat, tying up the game in the top of the 9th in a game the Angels went on to win after having a 7% win expectancy to start the last inning.#7Shohei Ohtani was all over our 10 top list, and in this case it was an article analyzing the Rookie of the Year debate. The beauty if this article was that it pissed off a lot of Yankees fans who were up in arms once the award was rightfully given to Ohtani.#6Luis Valbuena had a rough year as an Angel (and career with the Angels, really), and Jeff’s piece back in July spoke to the masses about how it was time to cut ties with BatFlip. The Angels did eventually cut ties with Valbuena who was having a FANTASTIC season in the Winter League before his life was tragically cut short.
