A Huge Weekend for the Jays as the Division Series Get Rolling

From Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball The Athletic

Eno and DVR discuss a busy weekend of Division Series matchups as the Dodgers took Game 1 from the Phillies, and the Brewers' offense erupted for six runs in the bottom of the first in Milwaukee en route to a Game 1 win over the Cubs. Plus, they discuss the Blue Jays' 2-0 lead of the Yankees on the strength of two impressive days from their bats, and an excellent start from rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 2, and the Mariners-Tigers series that is tied at 1-1, with plenty of early plot twists.
