:oldlol:
From worst to first in the same season. Braves Division Champs for the 4th year in a row! And to do it with this broken and beaten up lineup. Here here!

I would argue that acuna getting hurt...made us better? We just went out and nabbed every power hitting outfielder that exists. And that depth is a big part of who we are right now
And Chuck and Fried as a 1-2 in the playoffs is something no team wants to see.
Both Red Sox and Yankees are now only +1.0 game lead of Blue Jays and probably Mariners (leading in 6th).
Red Sox seems to do well against Nationals while Yankees have got trashed by Rays. Blue Jays are crushing AAA Orioles.
Red Sox and Yankees' fates are on their hands on Decision Sunday. 4-way tie is still very possible.
Yankees and Red Sox wins their 162nd games, both at the 9th innings. They are in the AL Wildcard game this Tuesday.
Blue Jays wins big again but it doesn't matter. :(
Hoping BoSox beat NY and TB, then we get to host them after getting past HOU...
Go White Sox!
That was the most I've cared about a wild card race in ages. Sox/Yankees fans...we live for this kind of shit.
I feel a bit for the Dodgers; winning 105 games and left playing for their playoff lives against the Cards.

Putting money on the Cards. They are the hottest team going into the postseason and Scherzer's been getting rocked as of late.
I seriously do not know who should be the NL MVP. There is not one player that stands out. My gut says Harper cause he has monster numbers while missing 21 games. That's why his RBI numbers are down, but he's #1 in the entire league in OPS and #2 in the entire league in OBP. I would love it to be Austin Riley for propelling the Braves into the post-season without Acuņa and Ozuna.
My dark horses for the MVP are Soto (who is becoming my favorite non-Braves player). He is arguably the best hitter in the game. And Trea Turner. Turner had a monster season as well while leading the entire league in Hits and Average. Not a fan of Tatis Jr. this year. Lots of Homeruns, but lots of errors and his Avg. and RBI numbers are nowhere near all the aforementioned players.

It'll be Harper.
Riley doesn't have quite the overall numbers to be in the conversation yet. Plus a really high BABIP shows that there might have been a little luck involved for him this year.
But a .900 OPS and 6.1 WAR is better than I thought he would EVER be. So I love it.
Post your postseason predictions...my heart wants the White Sox, lifelong fan and they certainly have the pitching to go deep but if I had to bet my mortgage...Yanks beat BoSox, ChiSox beat HOU, TB beats Yanks and TB beats Chicago in the ALCS. Over on the NL, STL beats LA, SF beats STL, MIL beats ATL and MIL beats SF in the NLCS. TB vs MIL in the World Series, with the Rays winning it all...hope I'm wrong though about my ChiSox but I think they're window is just opening, still not enough playoffs experience to beat the Rays this season who came close to winning it all last year.
Go White Sox!

I like Atlanta in that first round. Baseball has changed a lot. The old saying about you can't win without pitching in the playoffs has almost been reversed. These days, you can't win without the hitting. I have no idea what happens in the American League but I've hated Larussa since Oakland. Sorry TheMan I'm rooting hard against your sox :lol
Dodgers are too good. They win it all again.

no they're not that great
Gerrit Cole what a dud. Out after 2 innings. Was lucky to only give up 3 runs as his reliever bailed him out.

He has been shitty in recent weeks so it is not surprising.
