Marco Gonzales vs. Jose Suarez, 7:10pm
It’s here: the final season of the series, and the most eagerly anticipated of any series in a decade. The M’s aren’t just waiting for a series of incredibly unlikely events anymore. Through their own remarkable work, the hardest part is done. They just need to focus on beating an out-of-it and already-eyeing-up-vacation-ideas Angels club, who will not be starting Shohei Ohtani. That’s…that sounds OK. Sure, if Boston sweeps the Nats, things get delightfully complicated, and we get play-in game scenarios and tie-breakers and all of that, but fundamentally, they’ve got it in their own, weird, hands.
