Much to the disappointment of many Angelonos and Sea Kings, the Los Angeles Dodgers were eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series. 

After amazing performances from players such as Eddie Rosario, the Braves were able to secure a spot in the World Series after game 6. 

The Braves took Game 1 in fashion against the Astros in the World Series, despite an early Charlie Morton injury.

The Astros started off hot in Game 4 with a Jose Altuve home run. 

However, in the bottom of the seventh, Dansby Swanson and Jorge Soler were both able to hit home runs for another Braves victory. 

In game 5, the Houston Astros pulled a crucial 9-5 win in order to stay in the World Series. 

In Game 6, the Astros were unable to score due to an amazing performance by the Braves. This would allow Atlanta to win the game 7-0. Evidently the Braves were able to win the World Series 4-2.

One of the most notable players from the playoffs included Kike Hernandez of the Boston Red Sox. He had hit two homeruns against the Rays while maintaining a .450 batting average.

Many Los Angeles natives were upset by the early departure of the Dodgers; however, many also took a liking to the Atlanta Braves.  

“My favorite team in the playoffs were the Atlanta Braves,” sophomore Nathan Yakubik said.
