As a Yankees fan (but not one of THOSE Yankees fans), as well as a fan of baseball in general, it’s fun to see some relatively unexpected teams moving ahead and watching their respective fan bases get excited.
I think that the guardians are an underrated team. They ran the table the last month of the season and remind me of the early jeter-era Yankees. Lots of confidence, grinding and good play. I’d of course love to see the Yankees win, but this series feels like the 2003 World Series version of the yankees, when an upstart Florida team ran them over. There just isn’t a cohesion among the team to grind out the wins in these important games.
Should Cleveland advance, I think that they will give Houston a run for their money.
I don’t know much about this year’s padres, but it’s nice to see that their rebuilding efforts are bearing some fruit.
