Not so long ago there was concern that the two LCS matchups would be wrapped up in a pair of quick sweeps or shortly thereafter. The Rays stormed out to a 3-0 lead over the Astros while the Braves took command of their series two games to none.
Just a few days later we all find ourselves in a very different situation.
The Rays are now in danger of doing something that only the 2004 Yankees have done before them, losing a playoff series after going up 3-0. This instance would, perhaps, be even more catastrophic as the vast majority of baseball fans are pulling for Tampa to beat the Houston Astros, a team that is still made up of plenty of players that were part of their sign stealing scandal from a few seasons ago.
