While the Statis-Pro World Series will not mirror the thrilling Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series that started with Freddie Freeman's walk off grand slam in Game 1 - the Dodgers are still alive.
The Statis-Pro Yankees lost the all-time 3-game series in which they led the Mariners on every pitch of all three games, but were shocked with two walkoff homers to be eliminated.

However, the Dodgers rallied to win Game 6 and 7 against Arizona, and the Phillies eliminated the Braves to set up the Phillies vs. Dodgers Statis-Pro NLCS.
Here is the Game-by-Game, and box scores will likely be posted later.
NLDS Game 6 (Arz vs LA)
The season was on the line for the Dodgers who risked losing their opening series after a dominant regular season.
Trailing the series 3-2, it looked bleak late in the game. Arizona led the Statis-Pro NL in 2-out RBI’s during the regular season.
They came through again when Joc Pederson smashed a 2-out RBI double to give the Diamondbacks a 5-4 lead. The Dodgers answered when Shohei Ohtani ripped his 2nd HR of the game (3rd of the series) to tie the game 5-5. Game six went to extra innings when the tradition of the unsung playoff hero continued. Kike Hernandez came off the bench for a pinch-hit 2-run HR to walk it off and send the series to a game seven.
NLDS Game 7 (Arz vs LA)
Pitching dominated the early innings of this game seven. Arizona pushed across a run in the 5th for a 1-0 lead. Zac Gallen continued his dominant postseason run shutting out the Dodgers through the first five innings. At that point, Gallen had pitched 20-innings in the playoffs and allowed 1 ER. But the Dodgers broke through in the 6th when Freddie Freeman launched a 2-run HR. Two batters later Shohei Ohtani hit another (his 4th of series). Los Angeles held on for a 3-2 win to take the decisive game seven. Ohtani was series MVP. (.320 avg, 4 HR, 7 RBI, 1.193 OPS, .800 SLG)
NLDS Game 6 (Phl vs Atl)
The division winning Braves faced elimination. This was a crazy back-and-forth affair with 4 lead changes in the first five innings. Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos both homered to help give the Phillies the 5-4 lead. That lead held until the bottom of the 9th with two outs. Jose Alvarado was closing the game for Philadelphia. He did not allow an earned run during the regular season. (15 appearances, 13 saves) But Matt Olson hit the 2-out RBI double to force extra innings. However, the Phillies answered quickly when series MVP Bryce Harper clubbed a 2-run double to put the Phillies up 7-5 and they were able to hold up in the bottom of the 10th to clinch the series. Harper finished the day 2-5, 2B, HR, 4 RBI’s.
