It would be nice to see Boston, Cleveland and San Diego win today.

Brewers playing Cubs, had nightmares about it all night. It was always my plan to hold my bets through the Brewers first round and reevaluate. They're not especially as good as they were in July in August. Nonetheless, in the playoffs Im rooting on Phillies, Mariners, Blue Jays, and Brewers. Oh damn though Cam Schlitter was fire against the Red Sox with his 12 strikeouts.
Brewers another day of batting practice since the Chicago Cubs never showed up. How sweet the Brewers could win 3-0. The bad news, Jackson Chourio had 3 hits at lead off then came out apparently injuring his hamstring again.
It's a shame Philly couldnt hold their lead and win and it's a shame the Mariners lost too. The odds have Philly dead in the water -320 for LA to win. Winning the first game of 5 tends to feel like victory for the series, but it isn't of course.
It's making me sick seeing the Phillies lose again and likely the series. I only hope they find a way to make LA suffer a long battle. I felt so optimistic after the Brewers first win almost as if they had won the series. It puts them in such great position to make the kill. Im predicting some unsung Brewers power waking up tonight.
Maybe the Phillies can win 1.5-2.5 more games. The Brewers are looking good against the Cubs. The power has come out for the Brewers tonight. The Brewers will be underdogs against the Dodgers at present moment in my opinion at a large measure right now.
Some pieces of the Dodgers were missing when tbe brewers sept them in 6 games, the Dodgers are beating Philly by a hair right now and the brewers won 4/7 against Phillies. Brewers bats are apparently doing well with rest from a long season. The Brewers can have the Dodgers call them daddy or be swept. Im feeling confident about the Brewers. It would be ironic if the Brewers swept all teams in playoffs, it would end on a 12 game winning streak counting their last win on 9/28/25. Seeing all these bets with world series max payout, it is exciting. I think Ill go raw during the pennant and hold all through. A Brewers-Blue Jays World Series is the ideal scenario for me.
I was really believing the Blue Jays would make their kill move, but the Yankees yankeed back. Now I'm guessing this series should go to Toronto most likely for a game 5. The Blue Jays will have put on a miraculous performance to win game 4 not to mention how much luck can get involved with errors. The Brewers should have a much better chance of winning tomorrow and should be a heavy favorite -150 but they're +105. I'm hoping to see Philly bats wake up and fight back on the Dodgers, but I'm certainly not expecting it. Once the inevitable Dodgers Brewers NLCS happens, I'd guess the Dodgers will be -180 or -200 but I'm feeling Dodgers -140 sounds closer to a true line. This could go to 7, sweep of 4 either way. At least for now it seems there is hope again for the Brewers with Misiorowski and Chourio. Hopefully Turang will get back to hitting after breaking his hitting streak of 5 games. A home run game could be coming from him soon and maybe a few. The Brewers do need that and Vaughn to be hot. He hit like Jesus Lou Gherig when he first started playing for the Brewers against the Dodgers. Now a good NLCS from him is the death weapon if he can hit like tball again against the Dodgers.
These playoffs are getting to me. I have to keep seeing Pete Crow Armstrong losing his temper and I dont like how everyone seems to enable him. He is a bitch, obviously just like his mom and I can't wait until he is crying after their next game when the Brewers end this already.
The Brewers are definitely breaking what is left of my heart.
Congratulations Brewers. Kind of funny the Brewers had 3 home runs as the Cubs had previously batted similarly. It's a perfect NLCS and ALCS. Im rooting for the Brewers Blue Jays world series.
Sad loss for the Brewers, and a shame them hitless for so long. Hopefully they can overcome the odds with Petalta on the mound, the man they held onto to win here. Woodruff can be so great if they win on to get him back in the world series. Just overall tonight's game was a disappointment I had hoped would be overcome and they failed. Yup, hitless but 1, the Brewers erred and lost. The Brewers lost to a walked in winning run and inconveniently not hit by a pitch.
Congratulations Blue Jays on a nice win. Brewers second to last chance tonight, they will need to replicate some of their season successes doo if ever. It does suck one freeze from Turang a tie game, maybe a victory. I can't blame him, a ball to the knee is too much not to avoid if it would in fact hit him there.
I am sorry to break it to you, Tuesdays, but the Dodgers are going to the World series again and will probably win it. Baseball isn't fair with salary caps like the NFL is, so a handful of teams have a huge advantage in being able to pay for the best players, which the Dodgers do. The only obstacle for the Dodgers right now is they seem to have a lot of guys (particularly pitchers) that will be on and off the DL many times during the regular season. So they do have to navigate the regular season, but once they get to the playoffs, they have the best team (or one of) that money can buy.Originally Posted by theywontpayontuesday
Sorry to Dan Druff if you don't like this comment. My Phillies are also in that small group of teams with the highest payrolls. They just don't do as good a job as the Dodgers with it.
Guess who else is in that small group....at the top actually....The New York Mets. They fail miserably at it year after year.

Yeah I know odds seem close to 100%, but not 100%. Certainly everyone including the Brewers may seem to view this series as hopeless for the Brewers. Must win game tonight, I hope they keep it close or get a healthy lead. The mIz will pitch I guess, Glasgow is one of the pitchers the Brewers can beat and so is Ohtani, so when they play we'll find out. Of course I do root for the Blue Jays too, and I do try and see a connection because they also needed to win game 3 and now they need to win to see a game 6 like teams hope for to see game 7. Omg though the actual odds of a Brewers and Blue Jays World Series has to be actually so bad it's funny.
Baseball really is fucked up with this salary cap discrepancy that ensures that a handful of big market teams that spend as much as they want will always have the top teams.
Take a look at the AL east. How the hell can a couple of small market teams like Baltimore and Tampa Bay compete with the Yankees? They can't! They may get lucky and developed a couple decent players through their system, but as soon as those players become free agents they are off to the Yankees, or Dodgres, or Phillies, or Mets or Red Sox.
Your Brewers are also a smaller market team. They do a great job of developing talent which enables them to be completive more than you would expect, but ultimately they suffer the same fate. As soon as their young talent becomes free agent eligible, they are off to one of the big boys.
A salary cap and revenue sharing from TV money is actually one of the things the NFL has done right. Small market teams like Jacksonville start out exactly the same as the larger market teams.
