I'll take Texas in 4, thank you very much. I admittedly haven't done too much research on each team's strengths and weaknesses from a baseball prospective. However, I do know that the two most intimidating things about the Blue Jays are Jose Bautista and their obnoxious fans, and - unfortunately - Rougned Odor has already disarmed both of them. I just can't see a situation when an average middle infielder emasculates his opponent's biggest offensive threat then basically dares their support section to pelt him with beers and comes out on the losing end. There's only one team that has a player who is Venezuela-tough, and I can't imagine that mindset isn't contagious in his locker room. It's easy to toss alcoholic beverages at oblivious Asian outfielders, but - much like everyone else that has tried to inflict harm on someone that wasn't looking - they aren't so bold when they get challenged. Bet those tall boys get put right back in the cupholders where they belong now that Toronto is facing a man who has been hardwired to deal with potentially hazardous projectiles by years of athletic competition in a 3rd world country. Damn hockey fans think they are tough showing up to playoff baseball games and hurling full cans of cheap booze on the field? Try making it out of 'Little League' when you can't turn two without a bottle of tequila whizzing by your head. Blue Jays fans better have molotov cocktails on hand if they want to get in Odor's head, because - after he put his fist through the side of Jose Bautista's - anything short of that reminds him of his glory days playing stickball amidst a steady rainfall of Corona Extra's.
