Five and Dive

2. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! I just hope we can win a game: The AL West remains messy, and here come the Blue Jays again. Don’t even ask about the NL Wild Card race.
3. Angels With Dirty Faces: The Angels say goodbye to Shohei Ohtani as only they can, by not saying anything for like 18 hours for no reason.
4. What to Watch: A short Dbacks/Giants series and probably some long Yankees/Blue Jays games.
5. Nobody knows what the Silver Slugger is
