Terry McLaurin Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.As if being in the same division as the San Francisco Giants isnt taxing enough, now the Dodgers have to contend with the even-year magic of the Washington Nationals. Are you unfamiliar with that trend? Well, it doesnt get nearly as much attention as the Giants, but the Nats have their own little even-year thing going. Just as in 2012 and 2014, 2016 saw Washington capture the NL East crown; these are the only division-winning teams in the 48-year history of the Expos/Nationals franchise.Sadly, just like the 2012 team, this years team will apparently be without the services of Stephen Strasburg.?Only this time, his absence isnt a disaster of the teams own making.

However, Game 1 starter Clayton Kershaw appeared to have worked himself back into top form over five late-season starts, and to a lesser degree, that appears to be the case with Game 2 starter Rich Hill as well.While the health of the two teams is the most obvious contrast between the Dodgers and the Nationals, there are other factors to consider in handicapping the series, and the Chalk team of baseball experts will take it from here. Joe Peta, Dave Tuley, and Andrew Lange explain how theyre looking at this NLDS matchup. ' ' '
