This fall, in my opinion, is the very best Postseason Wild Card series for Major League Baseball that has coalesced in ages. So many amazing rivals playing against each other with the stakes at the very highest they can be.
It’s so exciting.
Cincinnati Reds (my grandpa’s favorite team and the greatest underdogs in the Postseason) playing against the LA Dodgers (probably the most scary, dominant team).
Cleveland Indians playing against the Detroit Tigers (Natural rivals because of their close geographic locations.)
Boston Red Sox playing against the evil empire (The New York Yankees). The Red Sox won the first game tonight of three. Inarguably the greatest sports rivals in sports history.
The San Diego Padres playing against the Chicago Cubbies.
Whoever wins the Cincinnati Reds/LA Dodgers series will square up against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The whole thing is absolutely electric.
Imagine this: It is possible that the Phillies and the Red Sox - my two favorite teams could end up playing against each other in the World Series!
Or imagine this: Two Ohio teams could end up playing against each other in the World Series: The Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians (Guardians)!
There are so many reasons to be excited about baseball this fall! For those interested, here is tomorrow (Wednesday’s) matchups!
