Central Divisions got a combined 7 teams in, they are a combined 2-13, and could possibly all be eliminated tonight.

There seems to be a long gap between the series here, Da Braves play Tuesday.  I guess that is due to CFB/NFL competition.  It's interesting to me that the games now are played in neutral sites so to speak.

I think the logic is to keep each team on a constant controlled "bubble" insulated from risk of COVID.

Yeah, if they were going to bubble, the highest seeded team from each side should have gotten to at least host the bubble for each league.  That would have been Tampa and LA.

The two gay gap was to get bubble ready, plan for possible rain outs in WC and yes it does skip over Sat Sunday .

I think in an empty stadium, there isn't much home field advantage other than batting second.

Perhaps they also want to eliminate rain out possibilities.

Hoosier native and Oakland University product Mike Brosseau with some sweet revenge on A Chapman.  

Rays down Yankees in 5.  That was a fun series.

Fans at a neutral site game seems stupid.  Are people in San Diego or whatever going?  Feels like this is just begging fans to travel to go.

I don't know % but some portion of tickets were offered to the Rangers base.  No doubt the secondary market is doing its thing.  

11,000 and change.

Selig was pretty sneaky with his game of three card Monte that resulted in the Brewers and the Astros swapping leagues. 

downright diabolical...
