Phillies' NLCS Game 1 GDT: 10/18/22 Phillies(0-0) @ Padres(0-0) - 8pm

I find it very strange that they'd be playing every day with no break for cross country travel. They will ask these guys to play back to back, get on a plane and play the very next day 3000 miles away. They'll go from SD to Philly and back to SD without a break, provided the series goes 6 or 7. Seems there should be a travel day. What happens if a game goes 18?

1 travel day - Thursday

As much as the underdog narrative is cool, you can also make an argument that the Phillies and Padres were the NL's two biggest regular season underachievers, given their rosters & payrolls. Yes, like everyone they had major injuries. But they also got healthier at the right time, compared especially to Braves, Dodgers and even Cardinals. If Helsley is healthy, we're in Offseason Thread time most likely.

All of which is to say, enjoy October. All that matters is still playing baseball.

Too much credit is given to the W-L records of the NL West champions over the last few seasons. Their record has been padded by playing a ton of games against the Rockies and Diamondbacks and an under achieving Padres club.

Urias vs Wright should be a good pitching matchup

I am picking the Braves in 7 over LA
