The MLB postseason is always an unpredictable, chaotic, messy and wonderful affair. No, we don't know who is going to win (although the Atlanta Braves are as heavy a favorite as we've seen in a long time after winning 104 games with one of the best lineups ever). We also don't know who will step up as an October hero. Sometimes it's the superstar carrying a team -- Bryce Harper has done it -- and sometimes it's a journeyman outfielder like Eddie Rosario (who shone for the Braves in 2021) or a rookie shortstop like Jeremy Pena, who was the World Series MVP for the Astros last year.
