Boston superfan bill simmons believes the Dodgers are going smoke new York and is ready to drink the tears of Yankee fans.



The Dodgers are a better team and should be favored (which they are). But the idea that any team can be expected to reliably smoke another team in a short series is silly.



I mean short compared to the regular season. I think they're all short. I thought the best of nine format in 1903 was short.

Anything before the LCS is hilariously short.

Even a totally average team against the best in baseball is only a moderate underdog in a best of seven.



I'll say Dodgers win a "long" series haha



Freddie f'in Freeman...what a slam. I think the Dodgers win again today with Yamamoto taking on Rodon.

Yes! The White Sox, arguably the worst team ever, took 3 of 4 from Cleveland this year in a May series. If you allowed all the teams to make the playoffs, in the 4 major sports, baseball would have the most last seed vs top seed upsets than any other sport and I don't think it would be close.



Damn, Yankees gonna get swept. Stanton trying to run home for the Yankees first run was laughable...

A one game ban? That's all you're giving these betas? People have been banned for life for less, but 2 dudes getting physical with a player when he's trying to make a play only gets a game?

They should be banned for life, and possibly even charged with assault.
