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.
