I agree that the playoffs should be great to watch this year, but the Dodgers and Braves were both pretty good last year and were joined by the Mets to have 3 100 win teams in the NL (although the Mets were going in the wrong direction at the end). In the AL, Houston had over 100 wins and the Yankees had 99 so that's 5 out of 12 teams which probably meant the playoffs were a little more top heavy last year.

There does seem to be more balance among the likely teams this year which should make for some great series. It all depends on who gets hot at the right time. Last year, I didn't think the Phillies were getting in since they struggled the last month but turned it on once the playoffs started.

....but the problem with last years is too many sweeps and not enough Game 5's in the early round nor Game 6 & 7's in the later rounds. 4-1 & 4-0 in the NLCS & ALCS, dats a no good.


I think this year it just seems more even. I see a lot of Series going the distance, to the final and decisive game of the Series.


We'll see.

Dodgers v Braves could be epic. As a fan, I'm hoping Ohtani joins the Dodgers. Then that playoff matchup could be epic for at least another year or two before people start leaving for the Mets and Yankees.

Every year I hope for epic matchups and 7 game series.

This year definitely has the potential with some really strong teams.

And I agree would love to see Atlanta vs LA and alll the stars going at it.

You never know what will happen in the playoffs. Last year, it looked like both LCS series would have been very close but Houston swept the Yankees and the Phillies beat San Diego in 5. Personally I hope for the Phillies to sweep and for whoever they play next to have a series go the distance.

I was just making the joke that at some point everyone leaves for a big paycheck from the Yankees or the Mets.
