MLB Playoffs 2018
It's baseball playoff time. Two tiebreaker games today, although it's considered game 163 rather than the playoffs.
Who you rooting for? Go Red Sox! |

This has been quite a season for many teams. To have two game 163s is historic. I don't have a lot of fond memories of game 163s. |
Brewers beat Cubs to take NL Central! We had the game on at work. The company profits probably dipped a bit. ;)

I've gotta stay loyal to the Tribe, even though I am more an October baseball fan these days. It gets much more exciting when every game, every inning matters.
I would be happy to see the Cubs win the NL pennant, being one of the few who was obligated to root against them the year they finally won it all, to make the Tribe the team who has gone the longest without a Championship. :D |
I'm a Cubs fan, but I don't see them getting very far in the playoffs this year. Their offense is weirdly inconsistent. And relief pitching is, well, not playoffs-worthy.
I'd love to be proven wrong, of course. |
Go Braves, but I fear it will be a short series.
|
Going with the Brewers, Love to see new faces in the chase,

Red Sox finished with the undisputed best record in MLB this year, by a considerable margin.
But, they'll face the Yankees in the first round of playoffs. The Yanks are the #3 team in either league by a considerable margin and would have taken the Eastern Division in any normal year. Plus, they are an explosive team and could easily win the WS this year. If the Sox beat them... They will likely face the Astros in the League Champion Series. The Astros are the #2 team in either league and are the defending World Series Champions. The Sox trailed off a bit toward the end of the regular season. That may be partly due to them placing a higher priority on resting key players than on driving the win column. But still, they do have some weaknesses. Their bullpen has been a sore spot all season, and the offense has been strangely quiescent at times. They'll need to really play their best to get past both the Yankees and the Astros. If they do that, the World Series itself may be something of an anticlimax. |
Yankees going with Severino for the Wild Card game. I think I'd start Happ instead.
Cubs tonight! I'm in Chicago now but won't be heading to the game. |
Happ

If it turns out Redsox/Yankees, at least neither team needs to pore over scouting reports. They played 19 games this season. |
