The Dodgers Advance to the NLCS & Brewers-Cubs Heads to Game 5

Eno, Britt and DVR discuss the Dodgers' series-clinching win over the Phillies in an NLDS matchup that featured excellent pitching. They also examine a few key questions in Philadelphia this winter with several important players hitting free agency, before digging into the Cubs' Game 4 win that sends their series with the Brewers back to Milwaukee for a decisive Game 5. How will each team alter their pitching plans from Game 2, when bullpens were heavily involved on both sides?
