We’re a day late, but for good reason — Spoon spent the weekend in bed with the flu, and now he’s delivering his version of MJ’s flu game. It’s just Rolsey and Spoon this week as the boys wrap up the Destiny Draft and lock in the final standings before breaking down the playoff picture across both leagues.

We highlight Cal Raleigh’s monster season, dive into the AL West battle and the NL Wild Card chaos, and talk about the surprising parity across baseball this year — especially in the National League — and what it could mean for the future of the playoffs. The guys also get into how scheduling shapes late-season performance and the trade deadline, the death of the Game 163 tiebreaker, and why Clayton Kershaw’s farewell feels like the end of an era.

Plus, Spoon finally gets his flowers for hitting one of his season-long picks from spring training, and then gives his best bets for the final week of the MLB regular season.
