All four games are still to come today, with nothing underway and nothing final yet. My first stop is Tampa Bay, where Gerrit Cole goes for the Yankees against Drew Rasmussen and the Rays. That’s the kind of pitching matchup that immediately earns your attention, especially on an October Saturday. Out west, Atlanta visits the Dodgers in a game with an unusual contrast on the pitching line. The Braves have yet to name their starter, while Los Angeles is set to hand the ball to Tarik Skubal. That uncertainty on one side makes the opening innings especially interesting. I’m also watching San Diego at Milwaukee, where Robbie Ray matches up with Jacob Misiorowski. You’ve got the established left-hander against a power arm on the other side. No scores to report yet, so today’s board is all anticipation. Now we get to see which of these arms takes control first. Did You Know? On June 17, 1915, Chicago Cubs pitcher George “Zip” Zabel worked 18⅓ innings in relief against the Brooklyn Robins, the longest relief appearance in Major League history, and earned the victory in a 4-3, 19-inning game.
