Greene did hit a bomb in Cleveland last week, but yes, he is definitely scuffling. The Tigers need him to produce in order to have an October that lasts beyond the next few days.

Man people tend to way underestimate the randomness of the playoffs. The Fangraphs odds give about a 25% chance not a single writer will have correctly guessed the World Series winner! (I don't mean this to criticize any of your picks - I just think it's quite hard!)

Not a super bold prediction, but I think Skubal is going to go CG Shutout today

Man, this is awesome!  Been looking forward to Mets playoff baseball ever since I woke up from that 2 month coma last night!  LFGM!

Bold: CG Shutout in 2025; Bolder: Complete Series Shutout in 2025, only Skubal pitches. Gotta get those numbers up, Dan

Will see Ohtani in the outfield at any point this postseason?

Which team do you think has the biggest home field advantage
AvatarDavid Laurila
1:27
I believe that the Cubs had the best home record of the teams that didn't get a bye. It is also Wrigley, and Cubs fans are Cubs fans, so I'll go with them.

Gavin Williams -- featured here at FG today -- is one of the most-underrated pitchers in the game IMO.

day games at wrigley have to favor the Cubs over a west coast team

What's up with Gavin Williams only having 1.4 fWAR this year?

I know it’s 2025 and he wasn’t a full-timer, but it still feels weird that the Guardians cleanup hitter is batting .197
re: what victoria said

as a cubs fan in socal i have to agree, i won't be at 100% listening to that game while at work

Javier Baez continues to have incredibly quick hands. No idea how well he takes a punch, but I could see him being a good boxer.
guardians fans, probably

OK, first trivia question coming in 30 seconds. Look for a private message if you're first to answer. First correct gets an OOTP 26 key.

At the onset of the season, I asked The Detroit Free Press's Evan Petzold who the key to the Tigers' success is this year. He went with Parker Meadows. Has me wondering what Meadows might have done had he been healthy for most of the campaign.

TRIVIA: This former Tiger outfielder was once fined $100 for a slide into second base that was clean in baseball terms, but very, very messy in reality.

Trivia Question - Gates Brown

I assume this is the correct answer.
AvatarDan Szymborski

The first correct one! Gates Brown once was on the bench for a game and was called to pinch-hit while he was buying hot dogs. He put them in his pocket, got a hit, and slid into second base, getting mustard and hot dog splatter all over his jersey.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to beat me in a hot dog related baseball trivia question.

Syndergaard, verify to me that you got the PM

It was a different time if players had to buy hot dogs during games
