Baseball update
So I ended up waiting until after the first couple games of all the division series to give my next round of thoughts on how it’s going.
Boston vs. Houston
The Red Sox have looked far outclassed in the first couple games, and while I can maybe see them managing to win a game at home I doubt the series will even get back to Houston and the Astros seem pretty likely to win. Which is fine with me as I was rooting for Houston, I’ve been nominally on their side for the last few years and they’ve been awfully good this year, also they’re playing Boston who I can’t root for; plus right now Houston is feel-good choice.
NYY vs. Cleveland
I give Cleveland the edge only because they’re so far ahead right now, if the Yankees can manage to use home-field to their advantage and push the series as far as a game 5 I think it could go either way. And as I’m still incapable of rooting for the Yankees I’m fine with the way this is presently headed.
CHC vs. Washington
I find myself rooting for the Cubs, mostly because the announcers are so far up the butts of a few of the Nats players I find myself disliking them more than they probably deserve. As far as predicting the outcome I could see it go either way after that second game, though I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cubs being at home for the next couple plays to their advantage; if it gets to game 5 I wouldn’t call anything, but if anyone wins in 4 I suspect the Cubs.
Arizona vs. LAD
It’s hard to predict anything but the Dodgers, but I was really pulling for the D-Backs, even after they beat my Rockies. And this is another situation where if Arizona can turn it around at home and push it to a game 5 I feel like most bets are off, but right not now I have a hard time expecting that to happen.
