All Hands on Deck

Last day of the season - everybody get ready for a wild ride. You may see starting pitchers coming in to throw an inning if needed, particularly if your team plays in NY, Milwaukee, the South Side of Chicago and the Twin Cities.
Two postseason spots still up for grabs. In the AL, Minnesota and Chicago are neck 'n neck in the Central. I like the Twins over the Royals and Chicago over Cleveland to set up a one gamer tomorrow.
In the NL - Mr. Sabathia on 3 days rest against the Cubs. Tough call, he's been a killer in the NL. But I think the Cubs want to set a tone for the playoffs and will win a tight one.
Mets play Florida. Ollie Perez in what is likely his last regular season start for the Mets, since he's a Boras client heading into free agency. He's on 3 days as well, and his last outing blew chunks. No matter how he pitches, the Mets will look to jump all over S.Olsen today and get a heap of runs. Mets will win, so says SoulSlam!

Last, since today is the last regular season game at Shea ever, a fitting tribute is called for. I will post that later today (unless I'm in a coma) or Monday. Let's play ball!
