I like Seattle in the WC game, but I'd much prefer NYY to Houston in the DS.

Why's that?

Houston's better.

All the more reason to want the Astros in the ALDS. ALDS is a five game series. Baseball is a high variance sport. The longer the series, the greater the likelihood of the better team winning. The shorter the series, the better chances of pulling off an upset.
We can take the Yankees in 7 games more easily than taking the Astros in 7.

Yep. We have no excuses if we lose to the Mariners. They suck AND we have home field.
If we get Tampa, then a loss is very possible, even at home. But they seem to be throwing their remaining games, so looks like it'll be Seattle (they just need to stop sucking for a moment and win one or two games to lock in the seeding).

interesting to see where the expectations are now. setting the table already to rip into the front office, coaching staff and players if they can't win a best of 3 where literally anything could happen?
a lot had this team at WS or bust before the season but when it comes to the MLB, i think once you get a seat at the table, you kinda just hope to get premium hands only and that goes for every team.
