Figured there are enough fans of all the teams participating that this could be a fun thread for banter and series predictions.



Probables:

Luzardo (Painter as bulk) Phils @ Sale (Braves)

Smith (Chi Sox) @ Blubaugh (Astros)

Tolle (Red Sox) @ Schlittler (Yankees)

Boyd (Cubs) @ King (Padres)


Early interetsting roster news from the Sox/Yanks series.
-No Judge; Grisham and Stanton on the roster
-Crochet on the Sox roster, hasn't pitching since April 25th.


Braves in 3
Astros in 3
Yankees in 2
Padres in 2

I have not really kept up with MLB this season.

I'll be in Boston for a convention next week. What are the odds of the Red Sox hosting a playoff game Wednesday - Friday?

So the Cubs are playing on the West Coast...and some fricking genius decided they should be the last game of the day, forcing all Cubs fans out east to watch starting at 9pm or 10pm for people like me. Retards.

If they beat the Yankees, they will host two games against Tampa next Wednesday/Thursday.

ETA: Thursday game *if necessary*

Exactly, all of the elite division winning teams don't have this problem.

The same division where the Fraudgers lost both season series' to The Division winners and runners up?

Tough to win the deepest Division in the MLB this season, when your bullpen is pretty much being reinvented every week due to injuries since opening day.

Anywho repeat of last season, Cubs take out the Madres, then shite the bed in 7 against Milwaukee/LA.

Thanks! I don't think I'll have time to go but I'm hoping to watch some of the game in a bar/pub with the locals.

I'll do you one better...don't flame out down the stretch (10-10 the last 20) and lose the top wild card spot. I can't have nice things with any of my teams.

7 K's for Sale thru 5

Luzardo going way deeper than I would have thought after being out since 9/7.

Great pitching matchup.
