Brewers vs Guardians or Rays will be one hell of a World Series matchup.
3 teams that just play winning baseball.
Jake Bauers continues his breakout season!
Time and time again the Brewers continue to get the most out of their players.
3 of the 4 remaining teams in the MLB playoffs rank in the bottom 12 in payroll.
Dodgers - 1st ($433M)
Brewers - 19th ($155M)
Rays - 27th ($113M)
Guardians - 29th ($93M)
A pretty incredible reminder of how far strong player development and roster construction can take you.

My thoughts on the teams that were eliminated from the playoffs:
Cubs - Getting hot at the right time is more important than anything. Bats went cold for a few games and the pitching was always a flaw
Phillies - A common theme for some reason, the elite RP cant get it done come playoff time? Bottom half of the order was pretty brutal
Astros - Hunter Brown couldn't get them the big start they needed. Like them next year if they can add one more outfield bat.
Red Sox - The core is encouraging but the only way they will really win is if Roman Anthony shows up and plays the way we know he can for a full season. Everything else is there.
Padres - Another case of the elite closer just not being himself in the playoffs. But how good was their pitching overall! Michael King masterclass! Need some more from Tatis..
Yankees - Team just does not play winning baseball. Everyone was essentially asleep at the wheel outside of Ben Rice who looked like a star. 2 seasons in a row with an underwhelming start from Max Fried in a big game.
Braves - Acuna, Riley, Olson, all no shows. Need more from them. Starters were also a bit underwhelming in the postseason.
Choosing opponents is absolutely insane work

One of the best postseason pitchers of our generation and is only in his third season…
Yankees just playing pathetic baseball.
Cant give professional players free outs…they will make you pay every single time!
Man I really thought the Cubs were going to make a huge run this postseason.
The best offense in baseball this season posted a .374 OPS in the playoffs.
Absolutely brutal.
