Who should be the World Series favorite? Your questions, answered.

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this wild-card format. I loved the old version: Two games that felt like Game 7s to start the month of October. Why give that up?

And guess what? I loved it!

We were curious about your thoughts, too, so we asked Chelsea Janes — who was at the Mets-Padres series, and will be taking over the Yankees-Guardians now — to join me in going over what we just saw and what is coming up now. Buck Showalter and Joe Musgrove? Trea Turner vs. Juan Soto? Whatever you wanted.
