It’s playoff time Major League Baseball style. We are going to be bringing you write-ups from some of the best writers around. Starting with:
The Angels and Red Sox are ready to get it on later today in the first round of the playoffs. Both teams have solid pitching staffs but they go around offense in very different ways. The Red Sox are a slugging team while the Angels like playing small ball so it will be fascinating to watch these two styles clash.

These two teams got to the playoffs in different ways. The Cubs were the best of a poor division while the Diamondbacks logged the best record in the National League due to their fine pitching staff.

The real Mariano Rivera has returned after the All Star Break for the Yankees. In 29 games since the break, Rivera is 1-1 with 17 saves, a 2.05 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. Rivera has worked 30.2 innings in the 2nd half of the season and he has allowed 27 hits, walked 5 batters and whiffed 36. Rivera’s overall numbers look pretty good now. In 62 games this season, Rivera is 3-4 with 29 saves, a 2.98 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. In 66.1 innings, he has allowed 63 hits, walked 10 batters and whiffed 69.
