You should pick a playoff team (or more) to root for

As Major League Baseball enters the final week of the regular season, the playoff field is mostly set. In the American League, the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros are contending for the AL West title, while the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians compete for the AL Central. With the Kansas City Royals excluded from postseason contention, writer Jeremy Greco encourages baseball fans whose local clubs missed the playoffs to adopt alternative postseason contenders.

Greco details his personal experience from the previous postseason, where adopting temporary allegiances to the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays allowed him to enjoy the playoffs without the typical heartbreak. He also highlights current playoff storylines for prospective supporters, pointing to the Tampa Bay Rays holding the best record in the American League behind slugger Junior Caminero.
