A MLB postseason that looked like it was going to be dull and boring has, over the last couple of days, gotten quite interesting.
Can the Braves and Rays stop their slides and win their respective league pennants? Or... are we headed into uncharted territory?
Tune in this afternoon and evening to find out. And I’ll repeat this info from yesterday’s posts, because it’s still valid today:
Since the LCS began in 1969, we've had 10 days in postseason history where both pennants were clinched on the same day

The last time it happened was in 1992
