    cam smith most likely won't win ROY.

    Nick Kurtz's stat is wild for a rookie.

    I just don't have a great feeling about this series, I'll take a 2-2 split.

    6 man rotation after losing a starter (McCullers) to injury. You know, because we just can.

    How legit are the Blue Jays? Feels like they've been pulverizing every team they've faced for the last month.

    And don't forget Abreu's season was very similiar to how Walker's start has been, and Abreu performed quite well in the playoffs.

    Their offense has taken off and has been led by the resurgence of Springer. Decent starting rotation, decent bullpen.

    Are they winning the AL East legit? Maybe. AL best team? Not quite buying that.

    Well if we can go 3-1, we will be 8-8 since the start of that infamous Cleveland series. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

    I mean look at the Tigers. They seem to be dead in the water with absolutely no answers for what ails them.

    Why do y'all keep saying Espada? He didn't make the move to bring Alexander back up for this game. Y'all definitely think Espada has way more power and decision making than he actually has lol
