I do commend the Cubs posters not disappearing once their team is eliminated.

Everyone picking the Phillies against the Dbacks and for good reason. They do seem like the team to win it all this year. I would like some more back and forth games. Other than I think the Braves comeback game there hasn't been a lot of drama.

The average margin of victory is like 3.5 runs, and there's been maybe 5 games where the lead has changed once. And at least two of those were teams giving up a 1-0 lead in the 1-3 innings. It's just random chance rather than the format since the WC series and DS series last year had some pretty incredible nailbiting games (or at least felt like they did as a Mariners fan) but man it's been annoying at how one-sided every game has been. Hoping for some fun CSes between two teams of destiny in the NL and the Texas Civil War in the AL. Narratively, they have all the makings of a classic.

The NLCS will be pretty one sided (please prove me wrong Dbacks) while the ALCS will have some good games (mostly bullpens blowing leads). I don't think either series will go 7. Phillies in 5, Astros in 6

It's funny to hear the Braves/Phillies series described as not being very close because outside of that hilarious game three it sure as gently caress felt like a nailbiter

I feel like some aren’t giving the Dbacks enough credit. Not only are they playing well but they seem to have quiet confidence - like they just know they can do it. As a Phils fan I hope I’m wrong but I think this one will be hard as hell.
