Dodgers and Giants beat each other up, just as it was meant to be.
It's quite likely Atlanta would be giving us fits if we'd made it...and all without Acuna

When they cheat some more?

If it makes you feel good about your team losing, keep lying to yourself that that is the reason they lost.

It wasn't because Cody Bellinger batted .143 with 17 strike outs. How the hell do you get 17 K's in a 7 game series? That's averaging over 2 a game.
It wasn't because Yasiel Puig hit .148.
It wasn't Justin Turner batting .160.
It wasn't Corey Seager & Chris Taylor batting .222. (Well, maybe it wasn't them. They had the highest BA of any Dodger with more than 20 ABs)

2017 World Series - Houston Astros over Los Angeles Dodgers (4-3) | Baseball-Reference.com

It wasn't Yu Darvish tipping his pitches and getting slammed twice in the series. Hey, wait was he the game 7 starter in LA. Oh, he game up 5 runs (4 earned) in 1.2 innings. In Game 3 in Houston (where the Astros were stealing signs), he gave up 4 runs (all earned) in
............
wait for it
...........
1.2 innings.


Just a little light reading for you.....
Did Cheating Actually Help the Houston Astros Win the World Series?

Probably. Gotta give them props for going all in and trading for Rosario, Duval, Pederson, and Soler.
Yeah the Braves have won that division in the front office the last few years. A couple years ago they hit big on Josh Donaldson. They resurrected Adam Duvall's career. And this year, How do you pick up 4 starting outfielders at the deadline? Amazing. The one that annoys me is Pederson. That dude was made for Citizens Bank Park.

Yup, that's a great job. Lost Acuña, but they picked up players to kinda make up the loss of HR's and SB's.

The Dodgers are paying now for the mismanagement of their rotation against the Giants
