Cleveland at Houston Astros (1:05 CT, TBS)
This is so gross. On no planet am I rooting for Chief Wahoo. Then you’ve got the foolhardy Yuli Gurriel and Justin Verlander on the Houston side. Root for the defending champions, provided Gurriel gets some weeklong food poisoning? I guess so. Ugh, I need a shower.
If we’re going to accomplish the task at hand, it’s going to take more than 25. If we’re bringing this thing home, it’s going to take more than an organization.

Winning 11 games in October is a tall task, and it’s going to take a city.

In case you want to know how a guy who subsists almost solely on gummy candies breaks down the series:
"The 'Stros won it last year. They're winning again this year."

And an irritating video lineup:

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox (6:32 CT, TBS)
And then, speaking of gross, it’s Yankees Nation vs. Red Sawx Nation and, barf. Although, to be fair, just like much of the Cleveland and Houston rosters, there are some entertaining players on both sides here. You don’t like Mookie Betts or Aaron Judge? You got some issues. Anyway, I’m not going to defend Yanquis or Sawx in a public forum beyond this, so here’s some toys and trinkets about the series.
Lineups and whatever to come, maybe, if I can stomach it.
