It’s World Series time. Josh and I broke down the matchups, the infamous Ben Reiter SI premonition from 2014, and the different levels of Yasiel Puig we might see this week.

It’s time for the National League Championship Series! It’s a magical time full of great pitching, power hitting position players, and double switches so your annoying friend can continue to try and justify not having a DH ecause “it makes the game more tactical.” whatever.

Josh and I break down the match-up between the NL regular season champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the NL Wild Card winner and defending World Series Champion Chicago Cubs. It’s going to be a fun time.

It’s time for the ALCS. The Astros rocked the Red Sox and the Yankees completed the comeback against Corey Kluber and the Indians. They’ll be facing off tonight in Houston, so Josh and I broke down how it would shake down in H-Town.

It’s the fourth episode of our playoff series! The Nationals are taking on the Cubs. The Dodgers are facing off against the Diamondbacks. And we can’t decide if Archie Bradley or Yasiel Puig will have a bigger offensive series!

There’s a lot to unpack here because these two matchups are very even, statistically. But we think we found some advantages for those of you who are looking for them.

We have a double-cast for you today, sports fans. First, we break down the match-up between AL West Division Champions the Houston Astros and AL East Division Champions the Boston Red Sox.

We follow that with an equally in depth look at the other ALDS match-up between Wild Card Playoff winner the New York Yankees and AL Central Division Champion the Cleveland Indians.
