That was my intent

Hope not. I bet on the Blue Jays to win that series, and I’d prefer a nice, clean sweep

I'll be watching the Brewers game at the local pub surrounded by Cubs fans. The tears will be delicious.

Thanks for the reminder. Got to put some bail money in my wallet.

Since forever we've had the playoffs. Now we have playins.

I'm the one on the left.

Dick!

Fuck this Wild Card format.

Division winners shouldn't have to play in the WC round, and they shouldn't be 3-game series. Wild Card teams should have one shot.

Yeah, and ins isn't even the opposite of offs.

Fuck everything.

Should have put all of the playoff teams in one post & let people bet on teams to win the whole shebang based on the odds.

Can still do it but there's less than 3 hours now until 1st pitch.

 

[Kburjr]

Predictions:
Rays in 4
Jays in 3
D-Backs 4
Phillies in 5

All in 3-game series.

Baseball is stupid letting in 3 wild cards. The original format when the wild card was introduced was/is perfect. Only 1 wild card team is necessary with a 162 game season.

Predictions:
Rays in 4
Jays in 3
D-Backs 4
Phillies in 5

Wow. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

False. That format puts a division winner in a 1-game Wild Card game.

Perfect is two WC teams play one game to determine who gets to face the best team in the league.

Rays in 4
Jays in 3
D-Backs 4

They're 3-game series, hoss, so at best you're 1/4 right out of the gate.

Before 1969, there was just a World Series. Have the best record in the league or stay home. Personally, I’d be fine with that this year.
