Good luck, Arizona!

Some teams spent a lot of money and their seasons went badly, including the Mets and Padres (didn't quite make it with a late run). The Texas Rangers spent a lot of money and did. They along with the Diamondbacks (much more of a surprise) are going to the World Series.

After the first two rounds often did not seem competitive, both leagues took seven games in the last round. Texas blew a perfect opportunity in Game 6 with a blown save. The Phils went up 0-2 and 3-2 but lost in seven. Former Mets journeyman, Paul Sewald, suddenly is a master closer. I wanted the Orioles, but not a bad match-up. Good luck, Arizona!
