MLB Post-Season Pick 'Em, LCS Edition: Holy cow, what a week. All fives series go five games, which is very exciting for television viewers, but incredibly stress-inducing for Post-Season Pick 'Em players, who now have a turnaround time shorter than the amount of silence in a three-man broadcast booth. Games start tonight!

Here, at long last, is the standings table. Thanks so much for your patience.
In the Molina bonus, all teams combined to go 17/24 in stolen cases for a 70.8% percentage.
The Showalter bonus lived up to its name as the AL clobbered the NL in blown saves, 5-2.
SpoFite | DET vs OAK | BAL vs NYY | CIN vs SF | STL vs WSH | Molina | Showalter | Points | Total |
