  I'll agree with all of that. I was thinking though, if we play Boston, I'd almost rather go on the road to start because I think Kluber/Bauer can steal one in Boston. I'd be worried about Tomlin in Fenway and those guys playing pepper with the wall in the left.

  1 game separates Texas, Cleveland and Boston for the 1,2,3.
  
  Texas is really smoke and mirrors. They don't pitch all that well. They don't hit all that well but somehow they just keep winning. Their run differential is 9...historically low for a team playing .588 baseball near the end of the season. Every other division lead is over 100 to the positive except for the Dodgers who are +87. This also have an incredible record in 1 run games.

  Their 1 run game record is insane. They are smoke and mirrors but their makeup of players works...could see them going 3 and out and could also see them going to the series.
  
  I'm excited for the AL playoffs

  I just bought 4 for Home Game 1 (Game 1 or 3) and 3 (Potential game 5) and 5 for Home Game 2 (Game 2 or 4).

  Yeah, it's cringworthy. I dislike the bunt early, but he is the exception. I'd pinch hit for either catcher in the 7-8-9 innings and have the other catcher close out the remaining portion of the game.

  That depends on Darvish's health, which has been sketchy. Kluber over Hammels. Unfavorable that the 1 & 3 Texas starters are leftys. But still like Cleveland's chances if that is the matchup. Beltre is a beast and Odor is mental.
