Then they did it once more. The Cubs were swept out of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the biggest upset of the Division Series.

High: Manny Ramirez goes yard off Carlos Zambrano in Game 2
Low: Kosuke Fukudome benched after 0-for-8 performance in first two games

The other NLDS was quiet by comparison, as the Philadelphia Phillies had little trouble eliminating the Milwaukee Brewers in four games. Brad Lidge had two saves to help him brush off those bad playoff memories from Houston.

High: Shane Victorino hits grand slam off CC Sabathia in Game 2
Low: Jeff Suppan allows three home runs in Game 4, gets booed by home fans

The Dodgers finished the year just 84-78, but they’re the favorites to win the NL pennant over 92-70 Philadelphia. Get your MLB odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
