Adding WS odds.

Phils and Jays are the best bet fyi.







Also, Manfred bring back the bullpen cars if you want 6 year olds to buy into the bullpen playoffs.

Rooting for the Dodgers but the best bet and value imo is to bet Braves to beat Astros +1500 and Astros to beat Braves at +1400.

Showalter planning to not pitch deGrom unless he has to in a game 3. Moot point anyway. I think it’s going 3 games.

MLB is expanding their mission to piss off fans to the rest of the world by blacking out MLBtv outside the US despite alternatives being spotty. These idiots did it right for 15 years, letting fans in niche markets get MLbtv in peace and everyone was happy with the product. Now they're apparently chasing the 350 bucks they might get from some rightsholder in [insert European country]

What is the postseason pricing in Canada? I've got plenty of links that will let you tell Manfred to go eat a snow boot.

Hah I'm in Germany but would appreciate any help to tell Manfred (germanest name OAT) to get stuffed with a load of Sauerkraut

IIRC there's a cable channel that carries the postseason and costs like 20 bucks for a month, but they don't even carry all the games. There's gonna be games that are just unavailable legally, esp in the first round

Btw: Jays, Rays, Cards, Padres

I’m gonna lol so hard if the Padres beat the Mets to complete their collapse

I think they’ve got a good shot. Scherzer and deGrom are 10-10 in their last 20 starts and I think they’re fading a little. And you know the Padres are motivated by Showalter talking about holding back deGrom until the next round.

*** Germany! *** Europe!

You know nada about baseball!

Ram a soccer ball up your ass and drink an overpriced espresso!!

Wasn't aware of the overpriced espresso stereotype

Tampa, Seattle, STL, Mets

Tampa, Houston, STL, Dodgers

Houston, Dodgers

DODGERS

They collapsed that last series in ATL for sure but they played consistently well all season aside from that. 101 wins is nothing to sneeze at. ATL just too good since Jun 1.

makes perfect sense

All of the games are on sportsnet, [ which is owned by rogers telecom, the owners of the jays ] . As far as I know, all of the games will be available.

Guardians! Masterful start by Biebs and Clase money as always. Jose being Jose.

LOL pulling Wheeler. 96 pitches is the new max for postseason baseball? Sprinkle in some fart sniffing analytics to justify pulling him and you love to see it

Finger cramps! Lol these guys

f**king TRASH bullpen

throw helsley in a grease fire right now

edit: throw pallante in there too

lol the cards, lol jays


all birds really

winning record! better than boston! plan the parade (go birds)

Lol txdome

Robbie Ray gonna do his old team, then Gilbert complete the sweep at home

LMAO @ yu not knowing he just came off the IL two weeks ago with arm trouble.

Today was the most he's pitched in over two months.
