First of all, they won 106 games and the Giants won 107 so the second best team in baseball had to play a Wild Card game against St Louis. Somehow that ain't right.
In the next series because they didn't win their division, the Dodgers played the Giants and Giants got the home field advantage which I suppose was fair. But the two best teams in baseball should not have been pitted against one another so early in the playoffs.
So now, because the Dodgers are considered a Wild Card team, Atlanta got the home field advantage even though the Dodgers won 18 more games in the regular season. The Braves ended up with two 9th inning walk-offs at home to take a 2-0 lead.
The entire system needs to be revamped by MLB. Can't happen soon enough.
On a happy note for Dodger fans, they came from a 3-1 deficit against Atlanta last year and won. Go Blue!
