The LDS match-ups have been set. Jake and Jordan break down each series, explain how each team can win their respective match-up, and attempt to answer some of the biggest questions relating to each series, such as “Could we see a slugfest in the Orioles vs Rangers series?” “Who throws Game 3 for the Astros against the Twins?” “Can the real Bryce Harper please stand up against the Braves?” and “How will the Diamondbacks be able to win the first two games against the Dodgers in Los Angeles?” Then, the guys touch on Mets slugger Pete Alonso hiring Scott Boras to represent him as he heads into free agency, and Billy Eppler stepping down as Mets GM.

Mat Germain recounts with Mark this past rough week in New York with the Tampa Bay Rays  playing both Yankees & Mets 

• Blame Game – Yankees pelting Randy Arozarena. Aaron Boone old school on playing the game. Boone is he channeling Billy Martin attitude. Boone a man of great character 
• Yankees talent – Harrison Bader brings the Cardinal way to the field. Rizzo & Bader make a good supporting staff with Aaron Judge. What happened to Gleyber Torres? 
• Tampa Bay Rays pitcher, Drew Rasmussen, has been moved to the IL. What will his return look like. What will the Rays rotation look like. 
• 6 man rotation, limited innings, taxi rides with minors pitching, will that mitigate the likelihood of injuries or diminish enthusiasm. 
• Rays’ strategy – Talent trumps Experience 
• Rays’ front office needs to help Kevin Cash with the bullpen 
• Jason Adam looking for the touch and feel needed for better pitching 
• Pete Fairbanks – will he be able to pitch in the cold weather of October 
• Home field advantage would benefit Pete with controlled temperature at the Trop 
• The Rays will be aiming for “elite” when trades begin and will be building a strong rotation for later in the season and playoffs. 
• Mat’s 5 man rotation -  Shane McClanahan, Tyler Glasnow, Zach Eflin, Josh Fleming, Taj Bradley & Yonni Chirinos. Next steps, Rays need to promote some of our AA pitchers to AAA 
• @Mat_Germain_ on Twitter talks about potential of adding Pete Alonso or Freddie Freeman to the Rays roster to anchor the lineup 
• Would Mets, Steve Cohen, let Alonso leave. What’s Pete thinking? 
• What’s next with the Mets? Top talent on short term contracts with mega-stars. 
• Great to watch the Mets pitching this year with Verlander, Kodai Senga, Scherzer. 
• Yankees Slam – Bad behavior in Toronto – gum-throwing Aaron Boone & Domingo German with sticky hands. 
• Sticky Stuff is the MLB equivalent of the NBA traveling call 
• Rays come home this week. Hoping for the return of some good vibes. Tough schedule ahead starting with Brewers, Blue Jays & Dodgers. 
• Mental State of the team – how will they be now. Did they lose some momentum this past week. 
• Kevin Cash trying to get Randy Diaz to smile 
• Looking forward to eX-rays returning to the Trop this week, Mike Brosseau, Ozzie Timmons & Willie Adames 
• Fenway is On Deck
