I'm with you Jordan. Good read.

 

The Dodgers and Astros are the two best teams in baseball, that's who I want to see slug it out for the title. Plus, a lot of history there.

Certainly the 2 teams Id bet on being there and honestly the 2 teams I wouldve picked going into the playoffs.

The Astros cheated, they served their punishment that other teams avoided by not getting caught, and have since proved that they’re still a great team. I’m not a fan of some of their players individually, Altuve and Bregman specifically, but they’re a fun team to watch.

I think both teams cheated.  MLB did not have the stomach to expose the Red Sox.  That said, I agree, about the Astros.  I think they are going to have their starters exposed.  Losing McCullers really hurts.  But they are an exciting team and maybe they can slug their way to the series.  As for the Red Sox, screw them.

The Dodgers and the Braves with a very good game 1.  The Braves win, but now face the heart of the Dodgers pitching.

I want the Dodgers to win the NLCS because the Braves will lose the WS to the Red Sox/Astros and the Dodgers won’t.

Great game tonight in the NL. Pederson crushed a 2 run shot in the 4th to tie it, still the same score in the 7th. Mookie just drew a walk on a 10 pitch AB. It's crazy how the Dodgers lineup forces you to pitch to him, because you shouldn't usually.

Braves cough it up. Taylor with a 2 run double on a misplay in CF. Dodgers up 4-2 in the 7th.

If Atlanta can beat this Dodgers team, they can definitely beat Houston or Boston IMO.

Atl needs some good vibes. Been forever since Braves made and won a WS. Falcons blew the SB and have sucked ever since. Hawks did make the ECF but generally suck. Plus Hank passed away this year.

They also love their Bulldogs there, and they have come up just short a few times here of late with some great teams.
