So what does Dodgers-Yankees do for the notion that the post-season is a crap shoot? When the team with the most wins in the AL meets the team with the most wins in the NL?
It's just like the Days of Yore, when we didn't have all these playoff rounds, when we went straight from the regular season to the World Series.
When was the last time this happened anyway? Best team in the AL vs Best Team in the NL? Way back in 2020, you say? But with the exception of that pandemic year, though, I think this is the first time it's happened since 1992.
It's not a total crap shoot - usually one of the teams in the World Series did it the old-fashioned way, winning more games than anyone else in the league. Last year (and 2021) were the exceptions during the last decade.
Anyway, who to root for?
Well, if you care about Blue Jays content, one of the teams employs Teoscar Hernandez and Kevin Kiermaier. And if you squint hard enough, you'll see Daniel Hudson and Anthony Banda lurking in the bullpen.
And the other team is the New York Yankees.
