Fwiw on stubhub they’ve gone from 75 to 76 to 85 in the past hour. For piece of mind I would grab them now but that’s just me.

MEH the Dodgers will be up by one with their cut-fastball-throwing-closer, Leony's Martin will pinch run for Schwarber, steal second and score on a "Respect me" base hit by Rizzo (Theo's second Ortiz), they will tie up then win Game 4 and Puig will stick out his tongue at Roberts, by mistake.

Speaking of, the Yankees twitter dude is good.
This was from yesterday.

What is the rationale for the DS being a 5 game series while the CS and WS are 7?

To many games and not enough time. Need to shorten the season.

So make the CS 5 as well

Or shrink the season back to 154?

Why does baseball need so many regular season games? You can make it 100.

Because 154 might actually happen?

I don't remember you asking that when the indians were up 2-0 on the yankees

...but seriously is there any valid reason for so many games or just a financial issue?

Obviously financial.

"MLB home field advantage"

4 game series: Even number of games in both parks.
5 game series: Team with worse record has more home games.
6 game series: Even number of games in both parks.
7 game series: Team with better record has more home games.

What's the logic?

Trying to even out home field advantage?

Seems more like it's a disadvantage.
