Just as we all expected it - the 83-80* Tigers are in the World Series. Javy Baez, whose contract signed prior to 2022 has largely been a bust, made the whole thing worth it by hitting a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 9th of Game 6 to walk it off, his 3rd longball of the series. Their opponents?
The Cardinals may have lost the series but the legend of Shohei Ohtani grew even larger after he did this:
Yes despite the recap in the box not using the phrase Ohtani threw a 99-pitch no-hitter to keep the Cards alive for a couple of more days.
Atlanta will be heavily favored over Detroit to take the title, but ask the Astros and Rangers about that.
*Still baffled as to why most teams played 163 games this year - the Rays didn't however.
