Dave Roberts highlights why Dodgers are smarter, better, tougher than rest of MLB

Manager Dave Roberts has the Los Angeles Dodgers nearing a third consecutive World Series title after eliminating the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Wednesday. The team did not rely on the power of Shohei Ohtani or Freddie Freeman's home runs to secure the victory. Even Yoshinobu Yamamoto, LA's top pitching ace, rested his arm and watched his teammates come together.

While Ohtani took a backseat, Andy Pages, often overlooked as an all-star, stepped up by hitting a ground ball that broke up a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning. Pages scored two runs, helping the Dodgers maintain their grip on the National League crown. Manager Roberts boasts of the Dodgers' talent, confidence, and toughness. He emphasizes that the team is smarter, better, and tougher than any other in sports.

Roberts reminded the team of their unfinished 8-win goal and urged them to stay focused. The Dodgers' unassuming hero has proven that this version of the team is confident and peaking at the right time, mirroring their success in the past two seasons.
