The dodgers are the oldest team in the MLB. They only have one position player in their starting lineup under the age of 30
I don’t expect to win a war of attrition against a motivated, energetic, resilient, fresher and younger Blue Jays team. This is the first deep playoff run for this young Blue Jays core of players. They won their First AL pennant since 1993. In comparison, This dodgers team with their core players (betts, muncy, will smith, ohtani, kike Hernandez etc) also went to multiple NLCS/WS many times in the last decade. They got damage, baggage, wear and tear from previous playoff runs. They are probably old, jaded and tired by now at this point.
I think the 18-inning game did more harm to the Dodgers than it did the Jays because of their aging and tired roster . Game 3 was a
pyrrhic victory for Los Angeles. They won that battle( game) but might ultimately lose the war( world series) at the end. This series is far from being over yet.
