There are eight teams left in the playoffs. The number could be halved after today's games.
Three teams are in danger of being eliminated. The SeattleMariners play their first home playoff game in more than two decades, hoping to avoid a sweep against the Houston Astros.
Philadelphia jumped on the Atlanta Braves early in a 9-1 NLDS Game 3 victory Friday night to take a commanding lead in the best-of-five series. After holding on for a 2-1 victory in Game 3, the San Diego Padres will attempt to eliminate the Los Angeles Dodgers from the playoffs.
Today is the last day of the series. The New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians split the first two games of the ALCS.

Another home game is what the series is over. With their team in line to advance, what will it be like to have a loud home playoff game? The Braves pitching is not good. Max Fried was sick in the first game and Spencer Strider was rusty after returning from an injury. Usually, Charlie Morton is Atlanta's choice for Game 4. He hasn't pitched in two weeks and is coming off a terrible September. The defending champ might be in trouble.
The Braves have been down in the playoffs before, and Morton has been known as a big-game pitcher over the last few Octobers. Syndergaard is at least a notch below the last two starting pitchers, because Philadelphia just used its two ace's. It would be ideal for the Braves to hit a home run on Saturday.
The Astros are leading the series 2-0.
Lance McCullers Jr. started for the Astros. 50 K, 2.27ERA.
George Kirby is a starter for the M's.

The series is over because the Astros are the team. In October, they win. A less-talented team will not stop them from reaching the ALCS for the sixth year in a row. There are many reasons why the Mariners' glass slipper is primed to break.
George Kirby is one of the most efficient strike-throwers. The Astros are disciplined and a pitcher needs to live in the strike zone to beat them. They were up in the first game of the series. In the second game, they were up. They will force a fourth game because of Seattle's first playoff crowd in 20 years.
The series was tied at one game apiece.
Luis Severino is the Yankees starting pitcher.
Triston is a starter for the guardians.

Guards.
It's too early to say.
The Yankees will win this series because Judge has to start. The offense can't keep going for another four runs. The Cleveland bullpen will be tired after the game. There has been a lot of drama in the first two games. The New York offense has a lot of power. It is time for that to occur.
The formula for the Guardians was shown in the second game of the series. There's no reason why Cleveland can't win in front of the home crowd this weekend.
The Padres are 1-2 in the series.
Tyler Anderson is the starter.
Joe Musgrove is the starter.

You would know why this series is over if you felt the energy at the park on Friday. In Game 4, the Padres will once again have a sold-out crowd behind them and the perfect pitcher on the mound, Musgrove, the San Diego native and lifelong Padres fan who dreamed of pitching on a night like this and is fresh off shutting down the Mets.
The Dodgers are crying out loud. They did not win a single regular-season game. They didn't win a single game against the Padres. The Dodgers didn't come through with runners in scoring position in the second and third games of the series. One day, one would think they will. They are too good not to.
