The 2018 World Series matchups we most (and least) want to see
Barring a miracle, we know the five playoff teams in the American League. We basically know nothing in the National League, except the Braves are getting pretty close to a sure thing in the NL East. We have drama every night in those tense NL races, but I have to admit, I'm already dreaming of potential World Series matchups ...

Along the way, the Indians suffered two of the most painful defeats in World Series history, the 1997 Game 7 to the Marlins and the 2016 loss to the Cubs. Would that make them the team to root for in this showdown? Maybe. It always felt unfair in 2016 that everyone outside of Cleveland acted like Cubs fans deserved the title that year, ignoring the drought of Indians fans. But I might lean to the Brewers if we get this matchup, in part because the Indians have taken advantage of a crappy AL Central. The Brewers, meanwhile, have played in a tougher division, draw more fans and have an outstanding selection of bratwursts and sausages ... although Cleveland's stadium mustard almost makes up for what the meat product itself may be lacking.

P.S.: I reserve the right to change all opinions before the playoffs start and even change rooting interests on a game-by-game basis.
