October 5, 20232 yr I could see Dbacks-Dodgers being uneventful (sorry Dbacks), but pretty stoked for the other series.
October 5, 20232 yr Still not buying the Twins, but who knows with the way Royce Lewis has been playing plus the added motivation for Correa against his former team.
October 5, 20232 yr Updated. One of two 2010s era teams are assured of advancing in the American League. Minnesota and Arizona have a chance of ending their very long draughts of a League Championship series. Texas is the only team remaining without a World Series title, Baltimore has the longest draught among the seven remaining teams.

October 5, 20232 yr Dammit, would really prefer for the Stros to go up against the Rangers and the Twins to get dispatched by the O's.

October 7, 20232 yr Really looking forward to the Rangers - Orioles and Phillies - Braves . the Dbacks are fun to watch, but the Twins, Astros, and Dodgers give me hay fever.

Agreed. I want to watch those two series start to finish. The other two, I’ll check the scores once in a while unless it goes 5.
October 7, 20232 yr If you’re not going to open the roof when it is 76 degrees, with low humidity and light clouds, don’t pay for the retractable roof.

October 7, 20232 yr Boy I bet the Phillies are mad they spent all that money on Bryce Harper! Oh, wait...

You can say that if they have 3 losses. 1-2 with 1 game to play isn’t a pattern in this sport. The Braves went 1-2 against the White Sox with a ‘27 Yankees offense. If the team with the buy won 66% of the games, there would be plenty of years where they went 2-2.
