in a few weeks, someone will become the first player to change teams in the offseason. it will likely be a fringe roster waiver claim or trade that seems insignificant but that someone last November -- literally on the day of the Dodgers' World Series parade -- was Ryan Vilade

via @stathead.com, a look at MIL's road L12 in the postseason... what stands out most is the lack of runs scored (never more than 4) but also that they haven't really been blown out during this streak most recent win was NLCS Game 3 in '18 (Walker Buehler was the opposing SP...just like tonight!)

Braden Montgomery hit a walk-off homer in his MLB debut, a nearly unprecedented highlight to begin his career but his go-ahead RBI double in ALDS Game 2 “tops it tenfold” new for Yahoo Sports, on Montgomery’s clutch (and unexpected) swing in Cleveland: sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...

Unlikely hero Braden Montgomery comes through for White Sox as they rally to take 2-0 ALDS lead vs. Guardians

"It's a feeling like no other," Montgomery said after Chicago's 4-3 victory. "You want to replicate that feeling every night."

First article that I have seen that suggests that The Guardians are a good dark horse candidate. And, for the reasons stated in this post, I have been quite surprised that more people are not picking them as such.
