MLB 2024 playoffs bandwagon tier list (as a Blue Jays fan)
Reasoning for each tier:
Bandwagon for sure (Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres): for both Brewers and Padres, I would like to see either team win their first World Series title!
No strong feelings (Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers, New York Mets): most of these teams already won World Series so no urge to cheer them nor hate them. But it’s cool seeing former Blue Jay Whit Merrifield play for the Braves…
I’m still salty: Kansas City and Cleveland still trigger horrible memories of losing in the 2015 and 2016 AL championship series against both teams, respectively. It’s not full hate, but still bitter feelings.
F you Ohtani: in an alternate universe we win the Ohtani sweepstakes and Ohtani makes the Blue Jays perennial contenders. Now we’re forced to reset the blue jays while those stupid dodgers become perennial World Series favourites. FML!
F you just cause: Baltimore is our division rival enough said. The only reason I’m not putting Houston in the bottom tier is at least we got a decent return in the Kikuchi trade. But still “once a cheat, always a cheat!”
F you for life: it’s the Yankees what do you expect?!?!?
Also I want to personally thank the Braves for winning today and eliminating the D-Backs cause I cannot stand another year of Gabby Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the playoffs and making me regret the Varsho trade even more…
