Any team still having to play the ChiSox should get like a 20% boost to their odds

Yeah they could do that….as long as he’s good to go for game 1 of the wildcard round. Hopefully we don’t need him to pitch in that last Sox game

I assume those odds are strictly based on the numbers and have nothing to do with team health, recent performance or upcoming schedules…. The Royals are not anywhere close to safe right now.

Depending on how these three games against Baltimore go, I’d wonder if they’d run Skubal on short rest so he pitches vs the Rays and Sox. Would have to see what the wildcard schedule would be if Skubal would get 4 days rest before the series would start. Despite the rotation schedule and opponents, I’d rather not run Mize out there more than once in the next 9 games. If you can get 2 each from Skubal, Olson and Montero and then a piggyback start from Madden/Hurter and a start from Mize, that’d be ideal with how it’s been going lately.

Ugh. Fine. Can’t believe we are trading away our entire 2023 left side of the infield for a guy with a broken finger though.

Vlad Jr and Bichette for Baez and Maeda. Take it or leave it.

This ump sucks but he’s favoring us

Good ol Michael Tonkin for the Twins lol

Our OF defense is elite

Jung with the perfect slide there

Yeah Riley!

Bob-E Witt jr

I thought that hit Jake in the helmet at first

1.) Guardians- I hate them with every fiber of my being. The amount of goofy looking white kid pitchers that come through their system that turn out to be elite starters is sickening. Then every one of their great players just has a jerky smug face— Manny, Thome, Hafner, Ramirez, Naylor. Killed me to see Fryman end up there….he was one of my favorites. 2.) Twins- What makes me the most upset about the Twins is that they rarely try to be good from an organizational stand point. Yet somehow they’re always in the playoff hunt. Every Twins era has a replacement level player that absolutely destroys us but is garbage against everyone else. Nick Punto is the poster boy for this. At least the Guardians players that beat up on us were elite players like Thome and Jose Ramirez. 3.) White Sox- They’re just like a drug addict cousin who is always getting into trouble and has no future….yet you’re stuck being guilted into feeling sorry for him at family functions. As a kid, having to get my baseball fix on TV by watching Hawk Harrelson call Sox games on WGN was torturous. 4.) Royals- As irritating as their little run was and as much as guys like Mike Sweeney, Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and now Bobby Witt Jr destroy us…..I can sympathize with how terrible they typically have been for my entire lifetime outside of about 5 years.

Twins might are my #2

Tyler Holton is on a legendary run

Add two more DRS for Parker

Mize desperately needs a strikeout pitch

I didnt particularly care for the one game playoff

I’m calling it now: Skubal is sick of struggling with the Royals and is going to go into his start this series and pitch a shutout with double digit Ks while boastfully screaming after each one. Meanwhile we only win 1-0 off of a McKinstry double and advance to third on a throwing error and a Jake Rogers RBI ground out out to second.

Yep. It was a great performance lost in a black hole of a season.

Do what you will with a perfecto/no-no, but nobody better jinx the Reds right now

im still mad at him for how they pitched to Delmon Young

I remember that one but always forget Turnbull had one
