The back-to-back champs have been outhit, outpitched, outhomered and outmatched.
In Game 2, even their best October weapon couldn't save them from the Brewers' unrelenting attack.
As the Dodgers head home looking for answers, a dynasty teeters:

The Brewers had the highest ground-ball rate in baseball this season. The pulled the ball less often than anyone, too. Only one team hit more homers.
They are the exact opposite of how modern baseball is supposed to work. They also are a scoring machine.

New from me:
The Brewers did something Monday no Brewers team had ever done before. So of course I broke that news to them.
Plus more NLCS Game 2 weirdness and wildness
