It’s a two-game day! First up are the Dodgers and Brewers coming to you from Los Angeles. The Dodgers lead the series 2-0 after winning both games in Milwaukee. That’s not the way to get to your first World Series since 1982, Brewers. The nightcap will be the Mariners and Blue Jays in game four […]
The road domination continued with the Blue Jays demolition of the Mariners in Seattle, meaning away teams are 5-0 in the Championship Series so far. Hopefully, that will continue – at least, in the National League, where we need the Brewers to wake up and smell the coffee sewage in Dodger Stadium tonight, as we […]
All things considered, it was a solid year for the Yankees even if it didn’t live up to the perennial World-Series-or-bust expectations of their fans. Despite Gerrit Cole not throwing a single pitch for the team this year and Juan Soto signing elsewhere last winter, they managed to win 94 games thanks to a few…

I hate the cliche of a “must-win game,” because every game is a “must-win,” especially in the playoffs. With that being said, today’s game is a must-win game. It’s not over yet, but Milwaukee will have to get the bats going if they want to have any chance at making this a series. Today’s starter […]
The NLCS shifts scenes to Dodger Stadium after the Dodgers won the first two games over the Brewers in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays blew out the Mariners in Seattle in Game 3, so the road team has won all three games so far in the ALCS. Here’s all the info you’ll need for tonight’s […]
Both LCS matchups continue tonight and have certainly featured two different tones thus far. In the NLCS, the Los Angeles Dodgers have dominated the Milwaukee with expert pitching, while the Brew Crew has just looked defeated. Despite going 6-0 against the Dodgers in the regular season, the offense has all but disappeared, and they now […]
