Why Each Team in Contention Will Get Bounced (& Why They'll Win it All)
Eno, Britt and DVR discuss the flaws for each of the 15 remaining teams in contention for the playoffs and explain why that could lead to their elimination (and share a few reasons why they could win the World Series). Does recent form even matter? If so, for how long? Does the Orioles' underwhelming second half mean more than the Royals' seven-game losing streak, or can teams turn everything around with a clean slate in October?
