Snopek Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I could see Dbacks-Dodgers being uneventful (sorry Dbacks), but pretty stoked for the other series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Updated. One of two 2010s era teams are assured of advancing in the American League.

35thstreetswarm Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Dammit, would really prefer for the Stros to go up against the Rangers and the Twins to get dispatched by the O's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how veteran presence plays out in the post season. BTW Kershaw is not very good in the post season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
