What a very different MLB playoff season it was. But now the teams are set for the finale--the World Series.
After the wild card and division playoff series were mostly blow-outs, both the ALCS and NLCS went seven games with the winning teams taking the final two games from the home teams. That was a first in baseball history I learned while watching the game last night.
Based upon their recent performance, the Arizona Diamondbacks should have the advantage since they will play four of the seven games on the road! Texas only won road games during their ALCS series.
But no matter--it begins Friday night in Texas as Arizona faces the Texas Rangers in the best of seven game duel.
Can the snakes strike before the Rangers unholster their bats?
It remains to be seen.
I am rooting for Texas. It is a thing. I tend to cheer for the team which eliminated my team to win the championship, because if we lost it had better be to the eventual champions!
Go Texas.
