If the first round of the MLB postseason taught baseball fans anything, it’s that playoff baseball can be hit or miss.
While the Yankees and Phillies swept the Twins and Reds, respectively, with ease, the Giants and the Rangers had their hands full with their respective foes.
The Rangers went all five games with the AL East-winning Rays while the Giants eliminated the Braves in four one-run contests.
Whether your team’s been golfing for weeks by now or your club is still in the thick of things, there’s plenty of reason to stay tuned to the postseason.
