Whether or not that will mean anything when all is said and done remains to be seen, as the National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers earned home-field advantage during the season and have lost only one playoff game en route to becoming -165 favorites on the series prices over the American League champion Houston Astros.

The Dodgers fell to the defending World Series champion Chicago Cubs 3-2 in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series, but otherwise they have been perfect this postseason. Behind strong pitching and timely hitting, Los Angeles overcame disappointing recent playoff performances by going 7-1 against the Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks. The team is hoping to ride ace Clayton Kershaw to its first World Series title since 1988.
