| Since my Yanks got bounced I don't really have a horse in this race. But I'm going to go old school and vote for Dodger blue. They have the deeper bullpen and the hometown fervor. |

| Much like Amadeus, I'm a Yankees fan. I wouldn't feel so bad about losing in the ALCS if we lost to the eventual champs, but I'm pulling for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have always been my favorite NL team. They've experienced their fair share of heartbreak over the past decade, maybe more than any other team in baseball, it would be nice to see them finally win it all.
Not to mention the fact I think Houston has the makings of a Dynasty, whereas with the Dodgers I feel this year more than anything was the result of a lot of luck and everything going right for them. |

| Also a Yankees fan here but since I was born in Houston, I'm rolling with the Astros. |

| Going with the Astros. I've never really cared for the Dodgers. Don't hate them by any means but the Dodgers having the highest payroll in the MLB makes it even easier for me to root for the Astros. Should be a good game. I predict Astros win 6-4. |

| At the risk of stating the painfully obvious -- Dodgers allllllll the way. It's been 29 years and I really think this is it. Admittedly I was a little (or a lot) spoiled by the dominant performances over the Diamondbacks and the Cubs, and things have understandably been a lot tougher against the Astros. They're good as hell and I hope they know they've had LA's whole collective fanbase sweating, but...this is our year. Here's to hoping that home field advantage helps a little bit, too. |

| With home field, go win or go home match. My pick are the Dodgers. Do you REALLY want to make your fans hate you by falling in the world series at home?
The Astros will probably continue being a huge threat in their division, so maybe next year for them. |

| To the Yankees fans that are rooting for the Dodgers... you do know they're rivals right? You're essentially Benedict Arnolds and should be ashamed. That's like rooting for the Mets or Red Sox... Disgusting. You do know that they used to play in Brooklyn? A rival to the Yankees... wow |

| I'm a Yankees fan but all my life I have been a American League guy but If I had to pick, I am rooting for the Dodgers. All I care about is a great game tonight and this postseason has just been amazing. I love playoff baseball. World Series, Game 7. My body is ready |

I don't subscribe to the commonly accepted attributes of rivalries. Call me a rebel. I also like the Mets and don't hate the Red Sox. But specifically with regards to the Dodgers, even I'm not old enough to remember them in Brooklyn. |

| I followed my team the whole year from the highs to even greater highs to our destructive run to getting back on track. We dominated the first two rounds and found an equally amazing team in the World Series. I watched every moment of the series, only a few inches decided this series - it wasn't much. But that is all it takes to win the big one sometimes so congrats to the Astros. I'm disappointed for the city of LA and even more so for the likes of Kershaw who deserve a ring before they retire.
As for getting lucky throughout the year and having the highest payroll, you guys should look more into it. We have Bellinger, Seager, Turner, Taylor (our destructive lineup) for very cheap alongside the likes of Kike Hernandez and Culberson with Toles. They are all on the young side and can make a dynasty of their own, the reason we still have the biggest payroll is because of deadweight money that we are still paying off for Crawford, Kemp, etc. Once that is gone, this team will be the same but not with the same payroll. We will definitely be back next year or in the years to come, I can see that. |
