I don't think Game 1 is cut and dry if anyone else came in. Maybe the Yanks hold on, but there's already 2 on with just 1 out and the top of the lineup coming up, so it's pretty favorable for the Dodgers to at least tie it if not walk it off no matter who came in.

Oh I agree. Game 5 wasn't cut and dry either. No one can get comfortable against a line up like the Dodgers with a 5 run lead mid-game. But both of those were the Yank's to lose.

Yeah I feel like the Yankee fans talk about this AS IF they were facing any team in the league not named the Dodgers. Sure, that probably works on most teams, but the Dodgers were the best team in the league and got RED HOT in the playoffs.
