Theres a ton of uncertainty surrounding this final week of the 2016 regular
season.
Breshad Perriman Youth Jersey . But we do
know this about the playoffs: The Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals
will meet in the NLDS.So who will win? During the regular season, L.A. took five
of six from D.C. That was then, though. Now, team reporters -- Doug Padilla
(Dodgers) and Eddie Matz (Nationals) -- duke it out over what will happen when
the two teams meet in October.Read each of their cases, followed by Judge David
Schoenfields ruling, then cast your vote below.Padilla: Could it actually be
that the Dodgers will get past the Nationals in the National League Division
Series because they are the healthier team?For a Dodgers squad that has placed a
record 28 players on the disabled list this season, having a health advantage
over anybody is an uncommon and unexpected turn of events. But Clayton Kershaw
looks to be back in form, Rich Hill is giving the club about six innings at a
time and the position players are all feeling good, outside of Andre Ethier, who
hasnt really been available all season.The Nationals, meanwhile, are without
Stephen Strasburg. Daniel Murphy and Bryce Harper, and even if they can get back
for the postseason (Strasburg is unlikely to pitch in the NLDS, according to the
Nats), they will be stuck rounding into form instead of being in full stride.
And All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos was just lost for the year, too.The Dodgers
major weakness of hitting against left-handed pitching is well known, but the
Nationals might not be able to expose it. Their main left-hander, Gio Gonzalez,
has a 7.45 ERA in four September starts, and opponents are batting .321 against
him this month with a .457 slugging percentage. And the Dodgers have been
slightly improved against lefties of late.Even without Strasburg, the Nationals
right-handed duo of Max Scherzer and Tanner Roark is formidable, but the Dodgers
will go to work with their lefty-swinging lineup of Chase Utley, Corey Seager,
Adrian Gonzalez, Joc Pederson, Josh Reddick and Yasmani Grandal, who is a
switch-hitter but is far better from the left side. And then there is the
right-handed hitting Justin Turner, whose reverse splits show that he is far
more productive against right-handed pitching.And none of these potential
Dodgers advantages consider the fact that the club was 5-1 against the Nationals
in the regular season, going 2-1 at Nationals Park in July without Kershaw, who
was injured; Hill, who was with the As at the time; and Kenta Maeda, who was not
lined up for the series. Those three pitchers will pick up a bulk of the Dodgers
postseason starts.Matz: If we learned anything from the 2015 NLDS between the
Mets and Cubs, its that what happens in the regular season stays in the regular
season.Sure, Washingtons 1-5 record against L.A. suggests the NL East champs --
who lost as LDS favorites in 2012 and 2014 -- are primed for yet another early
exit (Wilson Ramos ACL doesnt help any). But take a closer look, and the Dodgers
arent quite the kryptonite they seem.In the June series out west, Dusty Bakers
club dropped all three. In the first loss, reliever Yusmeiro Petit started in
place of Stephen Strasburg. The following day, Washington fell when workhorse
Tanner Roark, who took a 2-0 lead into the eighth, gave up a three-run homer.
The last L was about fluky as fluky gets: Shawn Kelley, subbing for injured
closer Jonathan Papelbon, allowed a single that center fielder Michael Taylor
turned into a walk-off Little League homer when the ball rolled under his
glove.During the July series in the District, it was more of the same. Rookie
starter Reynaldo Lopez, making his big league debut in place of injured hurler
Joe Ross, got rocked and was hung with the loss. Although the other defeat came
with Strasburg on the hill, hindsight tells us that Washingtons righty (6.15 ERA
since the break) probably wasnt whole then.To recap, of Washingtons five losses
to L.A., you can write off three to five of them, depending on your preferred
scoring technique. Yes, Strasburg is still out, but Petit wont be the guy
covering for him. Instead, itll be lefty Gio Gonzalez, who dominated the Dodgers
in July, which should come as a surprise to no one considering that L.A. hits
southpaws about as much as a Vegas dealer hits on 17.And I havent even mentioned
Washingtons two most important players -- Max Scherzer and Trea Turner --
because neither of them faced L.A. this year. Actually, thats not true. Turner,
the electric rookie who completely changed the Nats lineup, was present for the
July series but hadnt yet morphed into the Trea Turner weve been marveling at
over the past couple months. As for Scherzer, a Cy Young front-runner, he really
and truly hasnt faced L.A. This matters because A) hes the Nats ace and B) he
has been as good as any pitcher in baseball since the break. Tossing him into
the mix for a start or two (if Baker decides to go the MadBum route with
Scherzer) changes everything.That snoring sound you hear? Thats my case, which I
hereby rest.Judge Schoenfield: As an appellate court judge, Id prefer to pass
this one on to a higher court since its too close to call. But my ruling: Ill go
with Padillas case.The Dodgers clear weakness is hitting left-handed pitchers --
they have a .771 OPS against righties, .631 against lefties -- and the Nationals
dont have a reliable lefty in the rotation or in the bullpen. And this court
believes Clayton Kershaw is finally going to have that signature postseason game
(or games) weve all been waiting for.
Joe Flacco Ravens Jersey .ca looks back at
the stories and moments that made the year memorable.
Eric Weddle Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25
shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford
Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday
after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames.

. Once again Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) and I (@LynchOnSports) go head to
head in our picks. Last weekend at UFC Fight Night 32 my #TeamLynch got the best
of #TeamJC by a score of 9-6. Let us know which side youre on for UFC 167 use
the hashtag #TeamLynch or #TeamJC on Twitter. Newport Gwent Dragons secured only
their third win in all competitions this season as they survived a second-half
comeback from PRO12 champions Connacht to claim a 21-16 victory at Rodney
Parade.It was a first league win for the Welsh region in six attempts, while
Connacht went home with a losing bonus point for their efforts.Wing Ashton
Hewitt scored both of the Dragons tries while outside-half Angus OBrien kicked
11 points via a penalty, two drop goals and a conversion.Fly-half Jack Carty
booted three Connacht penalties and converted their only try through wing Niyi
Adeolokun.The highlight of an average first half was Hewitts electrifying
touchdown that has to be in contention for the try of the season.It came 13
minutes into the match when scrum-half Sarel Pretorious found a gap on the right
and surged over the halfway line.The ball was spun swiftly across the home back
division through centres Jack Dixon and Sam Beard as the Connacht backs spread
wide to cover.Hewitt took the pass 30 metres out on the left touchline and raced
past the desperate cover to run to the corner, with OBrien converting.OBriens
boot increased the Dragons lead to 10 points with a straightforward 25-metre
penalty but when they infringed 40 metres from their own line, Carty was on hand
to get Connacht off the mark with a booming penalty.The Dragons retaliated as
they put pressure inside the Irishmens 22 for Pretorious to send a pass into the
pocket for OBrien to land a 30-metre drop--goal that restored the 10-point
advantage.
Joe Flacco Jersey. Connacht hardly came close
to the home try line in the first half and posed little threat in attack but
they managed to pull back the deficit two minutes before the break when the
Dragons were penalised 30 metres out and Carty made no mistake.Connacht came out
with more purpose in the second half, with scrum-half Caolin Blade like a
terrier around the base of the breakdowns.But handling errors were Connachts
biggest headache, and, when the league champions tried to get something going,
they were reined back.And, when Hewitt beat the covering defence to the ball as
Beards long grubber kick down the left touchline drifted into the in-goal area,
the Dragons were closing in on revenge after Connacht did the double over them
on their way to last years title.OBrien sank his second drop-goal of the night
after 52 minutes to put his side 15 points ahead, although Carty kicked his
third penalty five minutes later.Centre Bundee Aki was a thorn in the Dragons
side most of the night but the home defence looked to be standing up to the
visitors pressure until they were caught napping as Adeolokun stormed over on
the right for a neat try that Carty converted.That took the Irishmen to within
one try of levelling the match during a tense final 10 minutes but the Welshmen
held out for victory.
