With the division pretty much locked up who would you rather play in the ALDS: Tampa Bay, Oakland, Cleveland, or Minnesota?

I’d do a split squad against any two of them. Bring them on...

This teams are all similar in skill level, but I would rank them like this as a desired opponent:
Twins
Rays
Tribe
A's
The Yankees are better than all of these teams but if they don't bring it in the playoffs, they could lose to any of them.

I'll take the Rays. Though it seems like they play us tough, we are 12-5 against them with 95 runs scored versus 50 against. 2 more games with them left.

The Rays are a bit different, where the sum of the parts would not appear to be equal to the whole. They move players around the diamond, on and off the bench. They have the whole “opener” thing going. Then, they have Glasnow and Snell as wild cards much like we have wild cards in Severino, Montgomery, and Betances... Because they platoon a good bit, few players jump off the stat pages at you, but overall they’re a good team. Minnesota seems to be the opposite, with scary numbers, but the team is not quite as scary as the numbers... |

But we can trade homers with them... True. Always a risky proposition though. It would be funny to beat them yet AGAIN in the playoffs. |
