Tonight, the Dodgers will go for the sweep of the Cubs while the Yankees and Astros have moved into a series tie. Alex Wood will take on Jake Arrieta in the former while Dallas Keuchel will face Masahiro Tanaka in the latter tonight.
The Yankees were down 4-0 before coming back against the Astros bullpen Monday and winded up pulling out a 6-4 win. The Dodgers bullpen continued their dominant ways with a 6-1 victory over the Cubs. Los Angeles has not lost a game in the playoffs and their pitching staff has looked borderline unhittable against Chicago, with the bullpen tossing 10 hitless innings in the series.
