What is the story about?
We’re in the thick of the Division Series with a ton of dramatic twists and turns. That’s what makes for a truly fun postseason, when the matchups don’t end that quickly and just give us as much good baseball as we can handle. The ALDS teams are trying to keep things interesting, but today will determine if the NLDS will have more bonus baseball to offer or if we’ll see two sweeps. (We’re obviously hoping for more baseball!)
