Geez. Watching the Dodgers is like watching the Cubs. Thirty strikeouts in two games. Two runs in 22 innings. At least they won. I've been rooting for them to beat the Brewers anyway, mostly because I cannot stand the Brewers and also because one can never root for a red state team in the playoffs.
For those fans who yearn for the Cubs to pursue Machado in free agency, it may pay to watch him closely during the post-season. Machado is a good hitter to be sure. So far he reminds me a lot of Baez, which, of course is good and bad. The real deal is that he seems to be a head case. He has so far tried to maim Brewers middle infielders on two occasions as well as going out of his way to kick the Brewers first baseman in he ankle on a close play at first base. Also, on the winning hit moments ago, it looked like he paused for a bit before running hard to home plate. He made it, but you have to wonder. Two outs, solid hit, you're on second base. You run like crazy, don't you?
As to the AL series, I like the Red Sox. both because of the red state/blue state formula, but also because I rather think they are the best team right now. The Astros are good, though. Either one is likely to be the champion.
