    The Yanks are NOT starting Jacoby Ellsbury, wow.

    Talking about matchups in a one-game playoff is an almost futile enterprise. Batter versus pitcher numbers have proven to be mostly useless, and other than a perusal of the platoon situations…
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

      I understand why Young should play, but this isn't exactly why you pay someone $153m!

        I was going to start a predictions thread, but might as well post them here.

        Astros over Yankees
        Cubs over Pirates

        Royals over Astros
        Jays over Rangers

        Cubs over Cardinals
        Dodgers over Mets

        Jays over Royals
        Dodgers over Cubs

        Jays over Dodgers

          I'd go with the exact same predictions, but as a Dodger fan, gimme them over TOR.

            Cheap ass slide by Gregorius. Started the slide after he went past the bag. Asshole.

              Buh bye Yanks. Joe Girardi has to wear the same uniform number again next year, oh well.

                    As a member of the VD community, I'd like to imagine I made an infinitesimal contribution to the Astros win.

                    Onto the next series!

                      Congrats to the Astros! I'll be rooting for you guys this postseason. Feels weird to say that about a Texas team, though.
                      It's not like I'm expecting a world series ring or anything... a partial playoffs share would be ample acknowledgement of my contribution.

                        Will any team sweep? If so, who?

                          The Cubs will sweep the Pirate.

                            Can anyone find series odds for the ALDS? I heard on the radio that the Jays are 3:1 for their series vs TEX. If that's true then TEX would be something like +280... which seems awfully high. I think the Jays will win, but that's a nice wager.

                              Jays are 3:1 to win the World Series. I can't find odds on just this series for some reason. Texas is +205 - +210 for game 1.
