Toronto Blue Jays - English
After two important victories at Milwaukee’s American Family Field, the Dodgers will play the third game of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) on Thursday in Los Angeles. The return home with two wins under their belt is a relief for Dave Roberts’ team, although the record of home teams at this stage of the postseason does not necessarily invite optimism.
So far, no one has managed to win at home during the Championship Series, which could set alarm bells ringing for the Dodgers. In addition to the Brewers’ two failures in Milwaukee, in Toronto the Blue Jays were unable to make the cross in the first two games against Seattle, while the Mariners were thrashed at home by the Canadian organization’s reborn offense.
Aaron Judge’s clutch home run puts Yankee Stadium in a frenzy
The signs are clear for the Angels, who will jump on the grass at Chavez Ravine for the first time during the current NLCS with the goal of checkmating their duel against the Brewers. So far, brilliant pitching performances from Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have allowed them to take a comfortable lead, but it could come crashing down with the curse of the home teams.
The Dodgers and their history
The Dodgers have lost at least one home game in 15 of the 16 Championship Series they have played in their history. The only time they managed to come through unscathed was in 2017, when they steamrolled the Cubs, although they then lost in the Fall Classic against Houston in a duel long remembered for the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal
The Dodgers have always won at least one home game in the Championship Series since their first appearance in 1974, and overall they have a record of 24 wins and 19 losses.
Of their 16 appearances in these battles for the National League pennant, they have advanced to the World Series nine times and lost seven times. Of their eliminations, only two (1985 and 2008) have occurred at Dodger Stadium, something that cannot happen now, as a sweep by the Brewers would only force a return to Milwaukee.
Home teams in Championship Series
The MLB Championship Series, the prelude to the Fall Classic, began in each league in 1969. Since then, being the host has not always been a guarantee of success. Although the overall balance is 317 wins and 262 losses for the home team, in some periods luck has not smiled on them in front of their fans.
For example, in the 1990s, of the 10 Championship Series that were held, the teams that played at home only managed to finish with a positive record in two seasons: 1992 and 1998. Also, from 1976 to 1983, a span of eight campaigns, the hosts managed more wins than losses in just two seasons.
In the last 15 years, the trend has been different: of 13 seasons, in ten the hosts won more than they lost in their stadiums. However, in this same period from 2011 to 2024, the record for most losses (ten) for home teams in Championship Series during a single postseason was set (2023).

Fantasy Football: Boom, bust performances to consider ahead of Week 8
Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Flacco are already building an impressive rapport: Chase recorded a massive 16 receptions on 23 targets en route to 38.1 PPR points this past week. Caleb Williams goes quiet in the Bears' win: Chicago didn't need Williams to shine, as the team's rushing attack thrived, much to the chagrin of Williams' fantasy managers. Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes BOOMS QB Bo Nix, Denver Broncos Sunday was a rollercoaster for those who started Bo Nix. Through three quarters, he was 11-of-25 passing for 105 yards and no touchdowns — primed to appear in the “busts” section of this article. But Nix and the Broncos put together a fourth quarter for the ages. With 218 total yards, four touchdowns and a 76.2% adjusted completion rate in the final frame, Nix quickly became a Week 7 fantasy superstar. He finished […]

Grading all 32 first-round rookies after Week 7
Travis Hunter finally gets his breakout game: The No. 2 overall pick reeled in a team-leading eight receptions while recording the first 100-yard day and touchdown of his career. Mason Graham takes advantage of a struggling Dolphins defense: He earned five positive grades in run defense as the Dolphins struggled to contain his lateral quickness. He also recorded a pressure and batted a pass down for an incompletion. Estimated Reading Time: 13 minutes Several first-round rookies continue to make their impact, particularly for potential postseason contenders. As such, we continue to track their progress, PFF grades and principal opponents each week throughout the season. Pick No. 1: Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward Overall Rookie Grade: 56.1 (Rank: 2/3) Principal Opponent: N/A Week 7 Snaps: 53 Week 7 Grade: 60.8 Ward got off to a hot start against the Patriots, making […]
MADE IN ENGLAND: Salahovi by prospěla lavička. Je neuvěřitelné, co se děje v Nottinghamu
„Velký zápas mezi Liverpoolem a Manchesterem United (1:2) se mi líbil, fanoušci si ho museli užít. Z obou stran se hrál pohledný fotbal. Myslím, že by utkání slušela minimálně remíza. Liverpool měl víc šancí, trefil asi třikrát tyč, ale United měli i štěstí, což potřebujete.Ocenil bych jejich vítěznou branku. Bruno Fernandes vyřešil situaci skvěle, z jednoho doteku poslal balon zpátky do vápna. Málokdo by to takhle udělal, ale on posadil míč přesně na hlavu Harryho Maguira, který se umí v pokutovém území soupeře prosadit, což potvrdil. Zakončil výborně, gólman mohl těžko reagovat.Myslím, že je na Maguira kritiky někdy až moc. Samozřejmě v minulosti udělal chyby, ale pořád je to skvělý obránce. Všem to zase dokazuje. Určitě pro něj nebyla jednoduchá situace, když do něj kdekdo šil, byl pod tlakem, ale zase se do toho dostal. Má skvěle nastavenou hlavu, pořád do Manchesteru United patří a pomáhá mu. […]
