Tulane with a solid win to stay ranked. LSU with the huge win over Bama to keep SEC and National Champ hopes alive. Astros with the big win. (official MLB team of Louisiana). Now we just need the Saints to pull out a win tonight to round out a great weekend.

ETA- Pels still have a winning record as of now with the injuries so there’s that too!

Maps showing Yankees are from Facebook/NYT and 2014/15.

Maps showing Astros is a SeatGeek map based on 2021 ticket sales.

There are +/-s from using either.

Don’t even care. Tulane is a borderline top 15 team and LSU just ended the Bama dynasty. This was one of the best weeks ever for Louisiana sports

get the frick out of here with this...

1st, people that REALLY give a shite about baseball in LA are very much the minority... even huge sports fans, many just simply don't watch that shite...

2nd, the Braves, in a lot of places, actually trump the Astros, from what i've been told...

personally, i don't give a shite, as baseball is a god awfully boring sport and i wouldn't watch it even if you paid me to, but to just automatically assume they are the de facto MLB team of choice for LA, well, that's just dumb

Why you trying to rain on Louisiana’s great sports week by denying the Astros are Louisiana’s team? Bro, everyone I know in Louisiana pulls for the Stros.

I’m not a stros fan but can concur

Very much the team most root for

Keep in mind there’s a huge LSU base in Houston

step outside of your little bubble, chief... you'd see there are likely more Braves fans than Astros fans...

and there are only 2 reasons why any of y'all are pulling for the Astros now anyway... they have Bregman, an LSU alum, and they are winning...

wonder how many Astros fans there'd be if they were still garbage, like they used to be?

b/c they aren't from Louisiana! period, end of story...

outside of that, they are the most local team with a sizable following among baseball fans (again, a minority of sports fans in LA) in the state of LA...

If you’re from New Orleans you actually might be in the bubble

Most of my family is spread throughout LA and nearly all of them, and most we know, root for the Astros.

As I said above, houston has probably the largest alumni base outside of Louisiana as well

Probably for younger fans since TBS stopped airing Braves games almost 15 years ago.

I remember when you couldn't go outside in New Orleans and Baton Rouge without seeing a Cubs fan. They must have all moved away.
