The narrative going into the Divisional round is naturally going to be that the teams who had the BYE are at the disadvantage of having almost a full week off. Teams have been better now about their scrimmages but certainly until the narrative is destroyed it will remain. I think it dies down personally, so I am not leaning on it too much but the Mariners and Blue Jays are two teams I could see getting bit by it. SERIES PREVIEWS Yes, I am still on the Phillies Yes, I am still on the Blue Jays — They have to win it in 5 though and I wouldn’t be shocked if the first four games all went to to the road teams. Slight lean on the Tigers, but I do not feel confident about their offense Lean on the Brewers, but boy this is the best series of them all.

Judge gets to head to Toronto which is going to be a nightmare for the Jays & a benefit for the man behind him — Mr. Bellinger most likely. Also like Vlad, Varsho & Santander in this series for Toronto. CUBS/BREWERS Suzuki & Happ Turang / Durbin / Collins … Cubs bullpen has been much improved — that ends in this series. Kyle Schwarber – OF – Phillies – Chairman of The Dongers Club Seiya Suzki – OF – Cubs BETS Cubs/Brewers OVER 7.5 Yankees ML Phillies ML Tigers ML … The value is just…...
