Let's go.

Passan has an article on why each of the playoff teams could win the WS

For all of the rightful love San Diego's bullpen receives, Milwaukee's has been superior in every way this month. More strikeouts. Fewer walks and homers. Lower ERA. Closer Devin Williams looks better than he has in years. Joel Payamps is dealing. Aaron Ashby has been brilliant. It's a bunch of mid-to-high-90s fastballs combined with swing-and-miss off-speed stuff. And Pat Murphy, the Brewers' first-year manager who's the favorite to win NL Manager of the Year, has handled them as deftly as his predecessor, Craig Counsell, whose Cubs finished 10 games behind of the Brewers.

This team might not enter the postseason with as much hype as the other NL division leaders, but here's the thing: Milwaukee is really good. William Contreras is the best-hitting catcher in baseball. Willy Adames is the 12th shortstop ever to hit 30 home runs and drive in 100 runs in a season. And Jackson Chourio -- all of 20, signed for the next decade, a franchise-player-in-the-making -- is ready to take his second-half slash line of .309/.354/.556 into the postseason. They catch the ball very well. Their 217 stolen bases is the most of all playoff teams. The Brewers' starting pitching, for so long a defining element of their success, is not loaded with names but is quietly effective. Freddy Peralta still punches out batters galore, and Tobias Myers is one of the great stories of the 2024 season -- and that could be enough to sustain a real run.

LETS GO! Fired up for playoffs. I’m gonna head to Game 1, haven’t been to a playoff game since 2008. Be curious who we end up with.

[jute2003]

I have concerns about the starting pitching still but in general, I don't feel like they're stumbling assfirst into the playoffs. The offense isn't all or nothing and is much more balanced and the bullpen is as strong as ever.

Maybe this is the year they get a couple series wins.

Is Peralta likely starting Game 1?

[MickeyDavis]

Need the Braves to win game 1 so the Mets have to use top end pitching in both games.

[Thunder Muscle]

If on the fence for going, some good deals on TickPick. Can get in the building under $30 and in the field level OF for $50-60.

[Matches Malone]

Mets it is. Time to **** you up, David Stearns!

[humanrefutation]

Bring them on.

[MickeyDavis]

I assume Peralta vs. Severino

Is Peralta likely starting Game 1?

I can't imagine who else it would be. I'm glad they used Rea yesterday and won't be able to start him in the series. I've lost a lot of faith in him. Peralta, Civale, and then either Montas or Tobes, perhaps in a piggyback or an opener/pseudo-bullpen game, is my guess. Could see a lot of relievers in games 1 and 2 as well. It's nice to have them rested!

The pen should get more work than any two starters combined in the series, so having an elite pen is like having two elite starters.

I won't be well if they come out and lose the first game.

No sign of the roster yet?

[MickeyDavis]

Roof will be closed today. I guess upper 60's is too cold for some

Roster was supposed to be released at 10 but I don't see it anywhere yet.

That is honestly f***ing ridiculous. Thought they only closed it if the temp was sub 60.

[MickeyDavis]

It's very windy, that was probably a factor, I don't know.
