Any time I’m watching the MLB postseason, one of the things that interests me the most is figuring what sets the best teams apart from the rest of the league. Sometimes it’s obvious with a team like the Houston Astros that employs a super-rotation, but other times we’re left scratching our heads with a team built to win like the Dodgers, who are already sitting at home.
When I look at the final four teams (well, three now that the Cardinals have been disposed of in a four-game sweep by the Nationals), I think there are lessons that the Blue Jays’ front office can take away from each team.
