Effectively Wild Episode 1915: Divided We Ball
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about what would happen if a dominant starting pitcher were caught using sticky stuff in a playoff game, then set up the biggest storylines and scheduling considerations of the division series round, consider which matchup is most likely to result in an upset, and preview each AL and NL series, plus banter about taxing home run balls, and a Past Blast from 1915.
Audio intro: The Society of Rockets, “Western Division”
Audio outro: Phish, “The Divided Sky”
