D.C. is still out sick. I am his personal secretary, Clive Braithwaite the fourth hosting in his stead. Incidentally, he had to withdraw from the Yodeling Championship in Chboogun due to his loss of voice. The contest was won by the mounting climber from the Price's right game cliffhangers.

Yesterday, John Miller updated you on the eight wildcard series that took place prior to the division series. Today, we'll begin to get you up to speed on how the division series ended up. We shall begin in the National League. Interestingly enough, both series were involved teams within one division. The Atlanta Braves faced off against the Miami Marines, while the Los Angeles Dodgers were pitted against the San Diego Padres. We shall discuss the series involving the National League Western Division teams in the second half of the program,

and we'll begin in the National League East. Atlanta finished the regular season at 35 and 25, the third best record in the National League behind Lost Royers and the Friars. While Miami would tread water most of the season and finish at 31 and 29, a mere one game above 500, good for second place in the Eastern Division. The Braves swept aside the Cincinnati Reds in their wildcard series, and in fact didn't allow a single run to score in the series. The fish also swept aside their adversaries in their wildcard series,

upsetting the National League Central Champion Chicago Cubs. Game one took place on October the 6th in May Park in Houston. Atlanta got to scoring underway in the bottom of the first, with Ronald Acuna Jr. hitting a lead off home run. Miami would waste no time countering Acunia's blast, with Miguel Rojas leading off the top of the second with the home run. run of his own. They'd tack on three more in the third to take a four to one lead. However, the Braves would score two in the bottom of the third to bring the score to four to three. Marlins

advantage. That score would remain until the bottom of the seventh, where Atlanta exploded. A Marcel Osuna R. B.I. single, a three-run home run from Travis Dano, and a two-run shot from Dan's B. Swanson would bring the score to nine to four. Miami would score another run in the top of the 8th, but it was far from enough, as the Braves take game won by a 9 to 5 final. Max Freed started for Atlanta and only went four innings. He allowed four runs, all of them earned, on six hits, including a home run, but didn't walk anybody. In fact, none of the six Braves pitchers allowed a base on balls.

After Freed, Darren O'Day, Tyler Mutzek, Will Smith, Chris Martin, and Mark Melanch's son each pitched an inning apiece, with Martin giving up the only other run, an RBI single to Matt Joyce. On the flip side, Miami started Sad York and Tara who lasted six innings, gave up five runs on eight hits, one walk, and a home run. Immie Garcia would relieve him, but he only lasted a third of an inning, during which he'd give up three runs. James Hoyt would finish the inning, allowing an additional run. Game two would be much more of a pitchers' duel. Braves D'Artarian Anderson, not the guy from Jethro Tull, went five and two-thirds innings of scoreless ball, striking out eight, while allowing a walk in three hits.

Pablo Lopez took the mound for Miami, and he lasted five innings, giving up two runs, both of them solo home runs, while striking out seven. Those two home runs were hit by Dan's B. Swanson in the bottom of the second, and Travis Donno in the fourth. Those two home runs would constitute the scoring for the entire game, and Atlanta wins two Zilch, and takes a two games to none lead in the series. Game three was pretty much over by the bottom of the third inning. The Braves scored four runs in the top of the third against starter six to Sanchez.

They'd tack on another in the fourth against Taylor Rogers, then two more in the fifth against Rogers. Right was the brave starter, and he goes six scoreless innings, allowing three hits, two walks, and striking out seven. A. J. Minter, Jacob Webb, and Shane would all subsequently pitch a scoreless inning apiece, putting an end to Miami's improbable playoff run in a three-game series sweep. The final in this one was 7-0. Atlanta hit 257 as a team in these three games, while Miami hit a mere 170.

The fish also had a whip of 1.480, while the Braves' whip was under 1, at 0.778. This was seemingly no contest, the Braves were clearly the better team, while the Marlins proved that they were mediocre at best and had no business seeing action after the conclusion of the regular season.

Thank you again Joey for leading us into the second half of Lotton Mariners. I am Clive Braithwaite the 4th, filling in for D.C. Lundberg, who has a bad cold and can't speak.

He may or may not be back on the next show, he's unsure at this time. Anyways, back to baseball. We have gone over the first National League Division series, and now we'll recap the second National League Division series, this one pitting the Los Angeles Dodgers against the San Diego Padres who finished number 1 and 2 in the National League West respectively, and who had the two best records in the National League. The Dodgers finished the abbreviated regular season with a record of 43 and 17, tops in all of baseball, while Slam Diego went 37 and 23.

In their wildcard series, Los Dyers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in a two-game series sweep, while the Friars best in the St. Louis Cardinals two games to one. In game one of this series, the Dodgers would send Walker Bueller to the mound, while the Padres countered with Mike Clevenger, who has great hair. As it happened, neither pitcher would last very long. Clevenger would have to leave the game during the first at bat of the second inning, while Bueller would only last four innings. Overall, both teams would utilize a combined 14 pitchers, with the Padres using nine.

Neither team would score until the fourth, when Slam Diego would get on the board with an RBI single from former Mariner Austin Nola. Los Angeles would tie the game in the fifth, with Justin Turner scoring on a throwing error. Incidentally, Justin Turner looks like he should be living in a tree making cookies, or perhaps he looks like he should be trying to ward off children trying to get at his scrumptious lucky charms. In any case, Los Angeles would score four more in the sixth inning off three San Diego pitchers, and win by that five to one final score. Dustin May, who looks like he should be playing keyboards for Deep Purple, got the win in relief,

pitching two scoreless innings. Game two was a little closer. The Dodgers would send the incomparable Clayton Kirschaw to the mound, and he would last six innings, allowing three runs, and coughing up two home runs. Slam Diego would get on the board first, on her second inning RBI double by Wilhelm Myers. Los Angeles would counter in the bottom of the third with three runs, on a two run. run double by Corey Seeger, and a one-run single from Max Muncie. Cody Bellinger would lead off the bottom of the fourth with a solo blast to extend the Dodgers lead to 4 to 1. In the top

of the 6th, Slem Diego would slam back to back home runs to start the inning, first by Prima Mani Machado, followed by Eric Hosmer. That brought the Friars to within one run. The Dodgers would add two more in the 7th to extend their lead to 6 to 3. The Friars would score two in the ninth, but alas it was not enough, and the Dodgers take the second game by a six to five final score. Dan Altavilla would pitch the final inning for Sam Diego, striking out two and not allowing anyone to reach base. Game three was another contest that was seemingly over rather early on. Lost lawyers would score one run in the top of the second, while Slam Diego would answer with two in the bottom of the frame. However, the Dodgers opened a can of

whoopass in the third, piling on five runs against Adrian Morey Hone and Craig Stamen. They'd add one run apiece in the fourth and fifth innings to go ahead eight to two. Santiago would only muster one more lone run in the sixth, with Julio Uri is balking in Mani Machado. The Dodgers would explode once again in the top of the ninth with a two-run double by Will Smith and a two-run triple at the hands of Cody Bellinger. Twelve to three would wind up being the final score, and Los Angeles would sweep aside and slam Diego three games to zero.

This set up the National League Championship Series pitting the Braves against the Dodgers, which is already in progress. In this division series, the Dodgers hit a whopping to 87, while the powerful Padres' offence could only muster a batting average of 182, 107 points lower than lost lawyers. In addition, the Friars pitching staff would compile a whip of 1.960, meaning they're allowed nearly two base runners per inning. That's a recipe for disaster. The Dodgers whip was much lower, at 1.037. The NLCS began on October the 12th, and we'll recap it when it ends. That will do it for a today's show. DC may be back tomorrow if he's sufficiently regained his

voice. Either way, we'll be recapping both American League Division series no matter who is hosting.
