There's usually one Wild Card team that makes a run deep into the playoffs, and I have no idea which one it'll be. I know I'm rooting for a seven-game Orioles-Dodgers World Series, and that the Dodgers are triumphant in the end; but I also know that the road the World Series almost certainly goes through Atlanta, and they scare me.
