Six of the eight playoff series have been sweeps so far, and if Atlanta can't tie the series against the Phillies, none of them will have gone the distance.
Other than a couple of games, this might be the most uninteresting playoffs I can ever remember since they added wild cards. Which leads me to believe the World Series is going to be a classic.
But on the other hand, the playoffs have been interesting in their unpredictability. Tampa, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, all teams that had really good seasons, and were favored to win their series, managed to not only lose, but to only win one game among them. For none of those teams to advance even one round is amazing.
The Dodgers were especially puzzling. The top of their order didn't show up. Betts went hitless in the three games, Freeman had just one hit, and Martinez two.
It's easy to pull for three of the four teams the rest of the way. At this point, I don't care who wins, I'm just rooting for the Astros to lose.
