Gamethreads: ALDS and NLDS mania, one more time!

After the shock of Oakland coming back on Houston, and Liam Hendriks again pitching like a closer in starter’s clothing, we have four more games today!

The Astros, Rays, Dodgers and Atlanta all can wrap up their series on Thursday — or we could still have yet another four-game day tomorrow.

What’s been the most fun series so far? I like what Tampa is doing to the Yankees, but those games have also had some intrigue and fight. Ditto, obviously, A’s-Astros. The National League, I’m finding less compelling, although L.A.-San Diego was probably the best game of this round last night.
