All have gangbuster teams. Will be incredibly engaging to watch how this plays out. 3 dominant teams.

Uh, ever hear of a little place called Cleveland? They are the best team in baseball and getting better every day. Sure they had a rough April and May. But it's August and September that matters.

Best record in baseball since June 4.
I’d like to go with the team with the best record in baseball coming into tonight, my hometown New York Yankees, but their starters aren’t good enough to get by your likely 2019 World Series Champs, the Houston Astros.
Not the Yankees. Pitching wins championship series.
Leading 6 to 1 right now...... wrote:

41-17 since June 1st and getting better evey game. They are tied for first in ther division after being almost 20 games back in May. And two-time Cy Young winner Cory Kluber is pitching tripple A now (he threw 60+ pitches in his start on Thursday) so that will on add to their strength when he returns in September.
Houston or Cleveland. Dodgers will choke like always. Yankees are too injured, etc.
Yankees
The Yankees don’t have the starting pitching and curiously didn’t add any before the trading deadline. So it will be the Astros and the Dodgers in the WS. After losing it the last two years, I think this is the Dodgers year.
The Oakland Athletics
really hope my Yankees can finally stop being super fragile and piece themselves together in time to win the series, but as previously mentioned the pitching is just nonexistent

Kluber threw 41 in the game. He is a long way from getting back. Gave up a bomb to left (wind was blowing out) and a bomb to right. Was hit pretty hard and was throwing a consistent 86-87 mph. It will definitely be September until he gets back.

He threw 20+ more game simulation pitches in the bullben after he left tbe game, so yeah, he threw 60+.
And how 'bout today's game!?! Grand slam to win it in the tenth! Once again tied for first! The Tribe is ON FIRE!
Cubs, baby!
Cubbies got this.
Yankees are in much better shape with pitching than people think
Chad Green is nasty for the Yankees. He can come in and be an opener
The Loiasiga guy
Plus they have prospect Deivi Garcia who was just promoted to Triple A and may help
Yankees to win it all

It ain't about that... I mean it's... It's not about that... At all. You know what I'm saying I mean... But it's...it's easy … to, to talk about... It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about practice. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not, not … Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about practice. I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about practice man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man. [laughter from the media crowd] We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. [more laughter] We're talking about practice, man. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you see me play don't you? You've seen me give everything I've got, right? But we're talking about practice right now. We're talking about practice …
Slamtana, baby!!!! Tribe is in first and getting better every day!
Yankees aren't playing Baltimore anymore!!!!!!
