Did that series seem to take a long time to anyone else -- like a protracted, doomed struggle? It's hard to explain; I just kind of feel like we were waiting for the inevitable for like a week, like the dominant Jays we were expecting to roll through October had been replaced by an emotionally unprepared and overwhelmed squad that didn't have a real chance. Even Game 6 was like that, with the rain delay, like, what are we doing here.
Not to take away from the Royals' win here; I'm not exactly psyched to face them next week.
Buncha housekeeping to do in here today so let's get to it. Points!

Yuhan 2 I'll leave in for a couple games; some of these LOBs can knock points off in a pretty brutal fashion. The rest of those picks, I'm afraid, are getting pulled from the board with thanks and a salute, and we'll see you next year.
Everyone who has an active pick is still "live" as far as I'm concerned even if it's mathematically impossible, because why not. I'M mathematically impossible sometimes, so as usual, please note or email any arithmetic/ranking concerns.
The World Series begins Tuesday at 8 ET; not sure if KC has announced a starter, but it's deGrom for the 7-Liners...and the FOX booth for the viewers, blegh. See you then!

"If we're going down, we might as well take MacEachern with us." — Donaldson/Tulowitzki
Is Donaldson's -6 a BPP record? Because wow.
Pretty sure it is. I do know I got a little electronics handiwipe and cleaned that part of my screen to make sure I read it right.
