On paper this year's Dodgers were better than the Brewers. On the field, not so much.

The blowout really hurt Ashby's claim. Fitting for a team that really plays and wins as a team that it's really hard to pick an MVP.

With the focused, determined way the Brewers were playing, for a good while this season I believed the Brewers could get to the World Series. What I never would have believed was that the Brewers would be the team in the World Series with the higher payroll.

They should have done co-MVP's with Ashby and Bauers.

This isn't last year. This is "Next Year"!

I'd prefer two.

2-0 !!!

I'm still mad at the Cardinals for that. Winning it all will finally take a little of the edge off of that.

3 Run Lead! (Is that even allowed?)

Insurance! Now go for home and auto as well.

But he might cause the Dodgers and their fans to need it.

Good choice putting Turang on to get to Wild Bill.

Splashing Yamamoto this quick feels incredible after last year.

Captain my Captain!

My only guess is the PECOTA sees Tampa getting to the series much more frequently in their simulations than Milwaukee. The AL is just weaker this year than the NL. They also seem to weight teams with the bye much more heavily than others, so that pushes their ALCS simulation to have TB vs CLE, and Tampa is going to win most of those.
