We're back to that weird situation where Kansas City is the overall World Series favorite (I didn't think I'd be typing that in my lifetime), but in the most likely matchup, vs San Francisco, they would not be favored.

I used to complain about the off days that weren't travel days sometimes inserted into the LDS and LCS so that there would be no days without baseball, and it only slightly appeased me to have them actually start one league a day later so the off days could at least be considered travel days, but after Monday's rainout in Kansas City, I learned that I prefer the offset format, so that there's baseball every day, at least through the first part of the series and until one team wins one. But for now, games 3, 4, and 5 of the LCSs will be played on the same days. It appears that - if Baltimore can win the next two - there will not be an off day when the ALCS goes back to Baltimore, so there may still be baseball on the NL's travel day.
