What are "play offs"?

[wenchbarwer]

To continue Booney's education of what playoffs are, here's the latest on the divisional series:

Toronto won both opening games at home, take a 2-0 lead in the Bronx, absolutely lighting up Yankee pitching to plate 23 runs over two games!
As previously mentioned, the Mariners win game 2 to split their homestand with Detroit, Skubal looking near unhittable apart from two absolute bombs from Polanco.
The Dodgers win both games in Philly, great starting pitching displays from Ohtani & Snell, near bullpen meltdown today and Sasaki flourishing in his closer role.
The Brewers up 4-3 in the 4th today, leading 1-0 over the Cubs. 40 year old Justin Turner batting lead off for the Cubbies!

EDIT - Brewers win 7-3, take a 2-0 lead in the best of five series.

Yankees get one back on the Bluejays in New York, 9 to 6, series is 2-1, Toronto's way.

Mariners find play offs wins addictive and take game 3 in Detroit 8 to 4, to also stake a 2-1 series lead.

Interesting fact for Dodgers and Brewers fans, teams that take a 2-0 lead in the divisional series have won 80 out of 90 times.
