It's LCS Time! Mariners-Jays Underway, Brewers-Dodgers Preview

Eno and DVR discuss both League Championship Series matchups on the heels of two exciting Game 5s from the Division Series round over the weekend. Did the Mariners' Game 1 win prompt Eno to waffle from his series prediction? As the Brewers vs. Dodgers NLCS gets underway, Dominic Cotroneo explains how the Brewers can find a path to the World Series despite an excellent (and healthy) Dodgers rotation. Plus, Sahadev Sharma drops by to discuss the Cubs' second-half offensive slide and a big winter ahead with Kyle Tucker headed to free agency.
