The Next Team Chosen Is...

The 1976 Montreal Expos!

King of the Hill Streak: 2007 Dodgers(3)

2007 Los Angeles Dodgers (82‑80) vs. 1976 Montreal Expos (55‑107)

Joe Buck: “Alright folks — tonight we’ve got a cross-era showdown: the 82‑80 Dodgers of 2007 taking on the 55‑107 Expos of 1976. On paper, this one’s a mismatch, but baseball always has its surprises.”

Tim McCarver: “That’s right, Joe. The Dodgers were just above .500 in ’07, but they had solid pieces: Derek Lowe and Brad Penny anchoring the rotation, plus Manny Ramirez and Nomar Garciaparra providing pop in the lineup. Not dominant, but dangerous.”

Buck: “Meanwhile, the ’76 Expos had a rough season — 55 wins, 107 losses — but they had some bright spots: Gary Carter showing flashes behind the plate and Andre Dawson starting to make a name for himself in the outfield. Depth and pitching beyond Steve Rogers? Not so much.”

McCarver: “Storyline angle: Dodgers’ power versus Expos’ fundamentals. Can Montreal’s small-ball approach, speed, and defensive skill disrupt LA’s hitters? The Dodgers’ bullpen could be vulnerable late, but the Expos have to execute perfectly to exploit it.”

Buck: “Other key points: Carter vs. Manny is a duel to watch. Rogers has to be sharp every start. Dodgers’ firepower is real, but Montreal’s scrappiness might steal a game if things break right.”

McCarver: “Over seven games, it’s going to be a clash of strategy and sluggers, but the talent gap is too wide. The Dodgers have the tools to win consistently.”

Prediction: Dodgers in 5.
