What To Know: To open up the series with Cleveland, Caminero opened up the scoring for both teams. He hit an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning in Game 1, putting T.B. up by a run. He then scored soon after, giving the Rays an early 2-0 lead. In Game 2, he added his second hit of the series.
What To Know: After going hitless in Games 1 and 2 of Cleveland’s ALDS matchup with the White Sox, Ramirez has at least one hit in four straight games, including Game 1 of the ALCS, in which he had three hits, two runs and an RBI. His RBI single in the top of the ninth gave Cleveland a 5-3 lead, and soon after, he scored on an RBI double from Jo Adell to boost the Guardians’ lead to 7-3. In Game 2, Ramirez maintained his hitting streak, but he also made a costly fielding error in the fourth inning that allowed Tampa Bay to put three runs on the board. The Rays would go on to win 3-1.
What To Know: In Game 1 of the ALCS, DeLauter hit a solo home run in the top of the sixth to get the Guardians on the board. He finished the night with three hits, three runs and an RBI. In Game 2, his RBI double in the top of the seventh produced Cleveland’s only run of the night.
What To Know: Diaz went 2-for-5 in Game 1 of the ALCS, crossing the plate on Caminero’s first-inning RBI single and giving the Rays a 1-0 lead. Diaz went hitless in Game 2.
NLCS MVP Odds
What To Know: Contreras went hitless in Game 1 of the NLCS, but more than made up for it in Game 2. He blasted a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth that tied the game 4-4, before hitting an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth that put Milwaukee up 5-4. The Brew Crew would go on to win 7-4. He added a hit in the Brewers’ Game 3 win.
What To Know: Through two NLCS games, Turang has three hits, four runs and two RBIs. He hit a solo homer in the bottom of the fourth inning of Game 1 that tied the game 1-1, and in Game 2, he hit an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth to put the Brewers up 6-4, before scoring moments later to make the score 7-4. He had a hit and scored on a wild pitch in the top of the eighth inning in Game 3.
What To Know: Chourio had two hits in the first two NLCS games, but announced his arrival in style in Game 3. He hit a lead-off home run off Blake Snell in the top of the first, setting the tone for Milwaukee’s 6-2 victory.
What To Know: Bauers might be solely responsible for sending the Dodgers home when it’s all said and done. In Game 3, after L.A. took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth, Bauers hit a 2-run jack in the top of the seventh that scored Christian Yelich and put the Brewers ahead for good.
