After the thrilling conclusion of the NLDS between the Dodgers and Nationals, we are ready to move on to our League Championship Series preview. In the American League, the Blue Jays and Indians have very little separating them, so which one comes out on top in what is sure to be a hotly contested playoff series? On the National League side, the Cubs are looking to end the long standing curse of the billy goat to win their first pennant since 1945 and the Dodgers are hoping to ride their battered pitching staff to the World Series. Joe Hojnacki and Greg Hessen give their takes on this round of the playoffs and tell you who should win.

Hosted by Joe Hojnacki and Greg Hessen, Crowding the Plate is a weekly baseball podcast here on Last Word on Sports. It aims to cover the fun, yet analytical, side of baseball once a week.
Joe Hojnacki writes about soccer for Last Word on Sports and is also co-host of the Crowding the Plate Podcast. An avid Red Sox fan, Joe idolizes Bryce Harper and feels that his fun showmanship is the way to save baseball from becoming overrun by old folks, and from dying out.
Greg Hessen is the resident Tigers fan on Crowding the Plate. As somewhat more of a traditionalist, Greg longs for the days of pitchers hitting in the American League and a landscape that doesn’t include things like bat flips and PEDs tarnishing the greatest of all games.
