The Arizona Diamondbacks have the Los Angeles Dodgers stumped. After a stunning season at the top of the NL West, the Boys in Blue are in their 10th straight playoff appearance. With star players like Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman leading the charge, it should be an easy task to take wins. But the NLDS has proven to be tougher than expected, and LA is in disbelief.
After a shaky season at best, the D-Backs are worthy underdogs ready to win it all. Strangely, even the star power of Tiger Woods, a huge Dodgers fan, isn’t working. The legendary golfer is an avid fan of the Los Angeles team, having supported them for decades. But recently, his loyalty fell short.

Trying to name as many Dodgers players as they could in 30 seconds, the pro golfers came up with just seven names. They may be able to swing a golf club under pressure, but naming names is harder! Mentioning iconic players, the duo came up with Walker Buehler, Sandy Koufax, Clayton Kershaw, Steve Garvey, Greg Maddux, Mike Scioscia, and Tommy Lasorda.
By the end, Woods was done and told Homa he won because he couldn’t think of anyone else. Despite being a devotee of the Boys in Blue, the golf legend failed them in a time of need. Already unexpectedly struggling in the postseason, the team could do with a boost from one of their greatest star supporters!

Can the Dodgers Make It Past the NLDS?
In the COVID-shortened 2020 season, the Dodgers won their first World Series since 1988. It was a historic win worthy of celebration, with a hope of a similar season in 2021. Instead, the team lost in the NLCS, one step short of the Fall Classic. In 2022, they didn’t even make it past the Division Series. Unfortunately, the backward progress continues in 2023 and there’s a very real possibility that LA might lose the NLDS again.
