Home Field Advantage

The Dodgers have been a much better team at home in the postseason.  Despite a less than stellar regular season record at home, the Dodgers are 4-1 at home this postseason.  Ever since Kiké Hernandez called out Dodger fans, the Ravine has been rocking and been as loud as it’s been in recent memory.  The Dodgers need all you fans to go out and cheer as loud as you can, the players thrive off that energy.

With the familiarity of Dodger Stadium and no ballpark gimmicks, the Dodgers will play with much more confidence over the next three games.  Walker Buehler and Rich Hill will pitch better at Dodger Stadium especially Buehler who was rattled when he pitched in Atlanta.  The Dodger bats should also heat up back in warmer weather as they were unable to produce in the cold temperatures of Boston.
