10. Boston vs. L.A. should be a fun series. There's a long rivalry between the two cities in basketball.

But they have never met in the World Series. Or the Stanley Cup finals. Or the Super Bowl.

The Red Sox did play the Dodgers in the 1916 World Series back when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. And were called the Robins. Babe Ruth was a starting pitcher in that series.

The NL also picked an MVP with a .200 batting average, Cody Bellinger. I'm not thrilled about it. I would have preferred Manny Machado or Chris Taylor. Of course, they were never going to give it to Machado.

I can accept it, though. But if they are going to downgrade the importance of batting average when determining MVP then they better not deny Jacob DeGrom the Cy Young award over his lack of wins.
