10/8/18: ALDS & NLDS Open Game Thread

2 teams could be going home sad today!

MLB: NLDS-Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves
shooooooo-ryuken!
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Well, the Brewers swept the crap out of the Rockies over the weekend, proving that the NL West is indeed 80% trash. Smell ya later, Rox. For today, we’ve got 3 games going and 2 of them have potential eliminations.

For your Monday morning baseball enjoyment(?), Cleveland will desperately try to avoid getting swept by the Astros.

Lineups!

And finally, a game that will surely go until at least 2 AM East Coast time, game three of the Red Sox at the Yankees. It’s tied up 1-1. This is gonna be the best series of the entire playoffs isn’t it? Peaking early like a babyboomer stuck forever in middle management.
