New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians

[Auggie]

2. And this is a surprise? I've followed Cleveland very close this year ...

the series is going very much the way I expected.

Guardians Achilles Heel -- lack of dominant starting pitching and clutch hitting -- is exposed playing the big payroll Yankees. I salute the valiancy, but at two games down it would require a Herculean effort of play and some really good luck to turn it around.

As I posted early, Guardians' fans can be complete knowing their team overcame all expectations and won not only their division but a first-round playoff bye. The season is a success! And it's been a lot of fun to follow.
