Guess I was right on the Rays. Yandy Diaz is really good! ALDS - Rays @ Astros - Twins @ Yankees NLDS - Cards @ Braves - Nats @ Dodgers The Rays might give Houston a run for their money, so I might actually be picking Tampa to win that one; but I'd take the home teams (Yanks, Braves, Dodgers) to win pretty comfortably in the other Division Series.

I'm not sure. I feel like he's lost a lot of his shine. But I could also see another team giving him a shot. Who you got in the Wild Card games? Rays/A's is a total toss up to me. I think I'd bet on the Rays with Morton starting... but the A's are a bit if a mystery to me, I don't know how they keep doing this. I think the Nats are probably the better team than the Brewers without Yelich, but I'll be cheering for the Brewers.

Poor Felix, what a quick decline over the last few years. I think the dude just had too many innings on his arm at a relatively young age. Over 2700 IP now at age 33. And it doesn't help that it seems he wasn't resistant to pitching different as his stuff/velo declined over the years. Look at the changes CC Sabathia had to make to pitch better once he finally realized that he couldn't just blow a fastball by guys anymore. I feel like Felix was more resistant to those types of changes.

He's finally heating up at the plate and it's so good to see. Defense is still a big question mark at 3B though. A missed catch for put out at 3B cost the team a couple runs last night... Even if he improves defensively, I doubt he sticks at 3B for too many years because he's such a big dude. But it would be nice if he could do the job for a little while before becoming a 1B/DH. They shouldn't be DHing him at all this year. Gotta see what he can do.

Aaron Sanchez is actually pitching kinda good lately, which is weird considering how bad he's been for most of the year. I thought he was cooked. And Stroman's been great lately. Some really strong starts. I hope they keep and extend Stroman. But if another team sees something in Sanchez that makes them think he could be good for them, I think the Jays should take whatever they can get for him. Not likely to happen though since he's been so bad up until, like, last week...

Family: You're not watching the Jays tonight? Me: They're playing the Yankees, probably a waste of time ... ah, what the hell, let's check the score. They're only down 3-2 in the 6th inning, maybe it could be an interesting game! Yankees: Score 7 runs in the inning right after I decided to start watching. Now it's 10-2.

Now that the Raptors big run is over, I've come crawling back to my Blue Jays. They're really bad. Nobody was expecting them to contend this year. They're basically seeing what they have in their young players. But wow they're bad. Almost Orioles level bad. Stole a win in Boston yesterday though.

It's interesting because this is two years in a row now I think that Seattle is off to an unexpectedly good start. But IIRC last year they were winning in a much less sustainable fashion. Maybe this year their success is more believable? The Red Sox are losing to the Os right now. Both the Red Sox and Yankees have losing records. I love this season so far
