* if necessary

Which team will win?

[Edited 10/29/18 7:23am]

And the last one...HINT HINT HINT:

Today's game and starting pitchers:

NL WILD CARD GAME:

CHICAGO CUBS VS. COLORADO ROCKIES

Colorado (Kyle Freeland, 17-7, 2.85 ERA) at Chicago (Jon Lester, 18-6, 3.32 ERA), 8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN

I would like to see Cleveland win the world series this year. I will be rooting for them.

NL Wild Card Game: COL 2, CHC 1

W: Scott Oberg (1-0, 0.00 ERA)

L: Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 6.75 ERA)

Dodger Blue.

Weren't the Cubs in first place in the NL central division for a long time? To get booted from the playoffs this quickly isn't right.

Likewise in the American League, it would be a huge letdown if a 100-win team like the Yankees is eliminated after one game.

Today's game and starting pitchers:

AL WILD CARD GAME:

NEW YORK YANKEES VS. OAKLAND ATHLETICS

Oakland (Liam Hendriks, 0-1, 4.13 ERA) at New York (Luis Severino, 19-8, 3.39 ERA), 8:00 p.m. ET, TBS

Oakland will use an opening pitcher for the first inning only rather than a conventional starter. Their bullpen is ace so we'll see how this works out for them.

Quick non-playoff note - I just noticed the Baltimore Orioles finished 61 games behind the Boston Red Sox. Unbelievably, that's only the sixth-worst finish in the modern era.

Prediction for today - Yankees all the way. The A's had a great run, and would have won the division in most years, but the Yankees are too loaded.

Related to this, it has been confirmed Orioles manager Buck Showalter will not return next year: https://baltimore.cbsloca...s-manager/

Too bad. I always thought he was a decent manager but man, was he handed a bad deal this year.

Here we go again, not sure my heart can take it...COME ON DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AL Wild Card Game: NYY 7, OAK 2

W: Dellin Betances (1-0, 0.00 ERA)

L: Liam Hendriks (0-1, 18.00 ERA)

I didn't think the Yankees were going to win last night before the game started. The dominance they showed makes the division series against Boston look a lot more even now.

Today's games and starting pitchers:

NL DIVISION SERIES:

MILWAUKEE BREWERS VS. COLORADO ROCKIES

Colorado (Antonio Senzatela, 6-6, 4.38 ERA) at Milwaukee (Brandon Woodruff, 3-0, 3.61 ERA), 5:00 pm ET, FS1

LOS ANGELES DODGERS VS. ATLANTA BRAVES

Atlanta (Mike Foltynewicz, 13-10, 2.85 ERA) at Los Angeles (Hyun-Jin Ryu, 7-3, 1.97 ERA), 8:30 pm ET, MLBN

This thread deserves to be a sticky. From someone who does postseason game recaps, I think Sexton does a great job keeping us informed about the MLB playoffs.

Aww, thanks.

NLDS Game 1: MIL 3, COL 2

L: Adam Ottavino (0-1, 5.40 ERA)

Cleveland (Corey Kluber, 20-7, 2.89 ERA) at Houston (Justin Verlander, 16-9, 2.52 ERA), 2:00 pm ET, TBS

BOSTON RED SOX VS. NEW YORK YANKEES

New York (J.A. Happ, 17-6, 3.65 ERA) at Boston (Chris Sale, 12-4, 2.11 ERA), 7:30 pm ET, TBS

NL DIVISION SERIES:

LOS ANGELES DODGERS VS. ATLANTA BRAVES

Atlanta (Aníbel Sánchez, 7-6, 2.83 ERA) at Los Angeles (Clayton Kershaw, 9-5, 2.73 ERA), 9:30 pm ET, FS1

only good thing about Boston is .....cream pie , Morphine and Aerosmith.

ASTROS, BABY!

The first three dudes hit home runs, and the last dude shut down the Indians.

WE OWN OCTOBER.

ALDS Game 1: HOU 7, CLE 2

AL DIVISION SERIES:

HOUSTON ASTROS VS. CLEVELAND INDIANS

Cleveland (Carlos Carrasco, 17-10, 3.38 ERA) at Houston (Gerrit Cole, 15-5, 2.88 ERA), 4:30 pm ET, TBS

BOSTON RED SOX VS. NEW YORK YANKEES

New York (Masahiro Tanaka, 12-6, 3.75 ERA) at Boston (David Price, 16-7, 3.58 ERA), 8:00 pm ET, TBS

The home team is putting its foot down in every game.

To quote the late great Milo Hamilton:

ASTROS WIN! ASTROS WIN AGAIN!

ALDS Game 2: HOU 3, CLE 1

W: Gerrit Cole (1-0, 1.29 ERA)

L: Carlos Carrasco (0-1, 3.38 ERA)

ALDS Game 2: NYY 6, BOS 2

W: Masahiro Tanaka (1-0, 1.80 ERA)

L: David Price (0-1, 16.20 ERA)

David Price lays another egg in the postseason.
