What would be the best remaining match of the World Series?

10 days ago, SB Nation released an empirically correct ranking of all possible World Series games. It had a complicated ranking system that gave extra credit to teams that had not won a world series for a long time, among other things, and I use it because it's hard to summarize you with 25 different confrontations . There must be a way to fix the mess.

With four matches, we can just look in the eye and use our feelings.

Really, our feelings are all that matters. Which of these matches is right? feels better than others? This is what the original filing system had:

9. Red Sox – Dodgers
10. Red Sox – Brewers
11. Astros – Dodgers
19. Astros – Brewers

Do these rankings follow our current sensations? We will take a look.

# 4. Astros – Brewers

Ah, the League Cup exchanged. Plop up someone from 1988 and show him a World Series program, and they'll think themselves in an episode of Sliders. Oh, Jerry O'Connell's crazy hijinks, you missed us so much.

The problem is that I can not say if that makes this meeting more or less cool. Or if it makes no difference. Probably the last one. However, this is my real problem with this game: there is too much chance that the worst possible result will happen.

The worst possible result is that the same team has been winning since last year. No offense, Houston, but this story was written. Here, I left everything on the table. I have no more words to give for another Houston championship. Maybe something like, "Hey, come on guys, cut yourself."

I wonder if I can get 1,000 words in "Hey, come on guys, stop that" after the seventh game.

Man.

And this result would also come with the maximum of pain, considering that it would be the Brewers who would have lost. Now, I know that the Milwaukee Braves won in 1957, so technically the city at saw a championship. But now, we are struggling with a level of Indian drought and I do not know if it helps or hurts to claim it. The Brewers have been there for 48 seasons, with only one pennant to show, that was almost 40 years ago.

The Astros celebrating as the Brewers leave the field are a bad eye for people like me who are totally obsessed with drought. As such, I can not endorse this pairing above the other three.

# 3. Red Sox – Brewers

Bias anti-brewers? Type of. I will manage, but before giving my reasoning, I would like to emphasize that I am really excited for Christian Yelich and the powerful thunder of Jesús Aguílar. There are all kinds of talented talent on the list – having a good team is the way you go to the NLCS. If I have to watch the Brewers, I'll be delighted!

It's just something I will never say:

Oh, shit yeah, Chris Sale against Jhoulys Chacín.

I know that Chacín has electric and underrated tricks. I also know that the Brewers starters form an exceptionally thin but excellent group of weapons, and it is their command and control that helps them win.

It's just that I will never say …

Justin Verlander vs. Wade Miley? We are talking now.

That's why we're way ahead of the Astros-Brewers combo because we're just a little less tired of the Red Sox, but I'm afraid the Brewers will take both places because … well, because they do not have Clayton Kershaw, agree?

Not until this winter, at least.

# 2. Astros – Dodgers

Yes, it's a revenge last year, which takes at least a little pleasure. But let's remember how fantastic this world series was. Both teams were so well matched and they traded body shots so violently that it gives the impression of a necessary sequel instead of an atmosphere here-let's go-again. You did not say, "Ugh, Apollo Creed again? "

Just forget the part where the first Rocky is about 80 times better than the second Rocky.

They are mostly the same teams. The Astros have added Gerrit Cole and the Dodgers have created Max Muncy from mud and twigs, but the overall makeup is the same. You find almost all the same goals from last year, which means that there is a small chance that we will live again like the fifth game.

Hrmm, this article had a Rocky reference too. I see what you are talking about when it comes to too many repetitions. Maybe a revenge would bother us all.

There is at least a chance, however, that we see this as a necessary rivalry, an unexpected intertwining of two of the most dominant franchises in baseball. There is no reason for Cowboys and 49ers to be linked throughout history, but they certainly are. The same goes for warriors and riders. If the Yankees and Royals could be one thing, why not the Astros and the Dodgers?

There is a 60% chance that this series will make us roll our eyes all the time, but a 40% chance of us getting out of our chair and secretly spying that 2019 would teach us a thrilling conclusion of the trilogy. This combination scares me, but it fascinates me too.

# 1. Red Sox – Dodgers

In my previous life as a Giants supporter, I would have written something like, "Hey, the only good thing about this match is that a team is guaranteed to lose." But because I'm definitely a journalist seriously, now, I can not write that.

[[[[wink of the eye strong enough for the eyelashes to fall]

It is not therefore that I am seduced by the idea that one or other of these teams wins. The Dodgers did not win since the video games looked like this:

And it still amuses me sadly. The approaching Dodgers threaten one of my favorite things, in which I look back at 1988 looking for something hilarious in antiquity to emphasize how long it has been. Like this Radio Shack ad for a cell phone.

Sorry, sorry. Let's move on and focus on another rude scenario, the Red Sox win. again. It would be their second championship of the decade and their fourth since they started winning them. I understand that they have a little karma built from previous decades, but it's left to spend it all at once.

And even. And even. Dodgers / Red Sox has a ringing sound. I know they have already participated in a world series, technically, at the time when Babe Ruth was pitcher (he was 0-on-5 as a batter in the series), but that does not matter. It's a new era, with a different coast, and it's a confrontation that should have happened sometime in the last century, but it has not been. As long as these two teams exist, they are linked by the trading Adrian Gonzalez? That's all? How is it possible?

So, as long as we delete movie compositions, let's assume that this is King Kong against Godzilla. Maybe both teams will fall into the ocean, and we will always argue over who really won! We can only hope.

However, this match would be very successful. Clayton Kershaw and Mookie Betts master the speed with which he slides. The impious trick of Chris Sale against the quick shots of Chris Taylor and Justin Turner. Yasiel Puig crossing the green monster in a popup behind the marble. It is there that lies the power of the star.

Even better: both bullpens are just a bit fragile. They are not bad bulls. They just do not make you extremely confident, which allows chaos at the end of the game.

For Giants fans: I know it would be difficult to find a rich team that has spent years and years without winning the World Series, and then suddenly won three in a short time, which is a great Fan base the rest of baseball despised, but you could probably find a way. It would be strange, but you would have understood it.

As for the best combination of stars and talent, the Astros-Dodgers might be a better match, but we've seen it before. It's something fresh. This is something that separates two teams from major media markets and that probably should have happened before, and we can all agree that if Is to arrive, we will not need to see it for 100 years.

Consider me curious, though. This is probably the best remaining match of the World Series.
