If you are a Baseball fan or just a Sports fan in general then today is without a doubt one of the best days of the year. I don’t care what other things you have going on in your life and I don’t care what work or family things you will be doing today. Or maybe you are just sitting around in your boxers wondering how the October bugs manage to find their way through the window cracks every year. Doesn’t matter. Today is about Baseball. This is the day that used to be when we had four Divisional Round series kicking off and now with the new format it serves as more of an opening day for the playoffs. Guess what… I love it. Yep.

Look for a lower scoring series as the Mets bats aren’t quite ready to shine without Starling Marte and so Max will need to go long and strong or deep and hard or whatever perverted analogy you want because he’s gonna fuck the Padres. ALEK MANOAH DraftKings: $6,800, FanDuel: $10,800 This is gonna be a series we wish was 7 games so that we could play in both cities and I always feel that a young team is kinda sneaky in the playoffs given their care free attitude.
