Many teams hope that their season ends with raising the Commissioner’s Trophy and being crowned World Series champions, but only one will be successful. It’s time to take a look at which teams, as it stands right now, have the best chance to be the last team standing when all the dust settles.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take turns drafting the teams currently in postseason position and explain why clubs like the Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies and Detroit Tigers might have a distinct advantage over the rest of the field. They also give their takes on one player no one should forget come October for the New York Yankees and whether the Los Angeles Dodgers’ rotation can be a difference-maker.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan talk about the controversial cross-up that occurred in Houston with Framber Valdez — and why it was a bad look, intentional or not. Then, Jordan recaps his time in Pittsburgh watching the Dodgers get swept by the Pirates and being wowed once again by Paul Skenes, before the guys make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
