We give our fave five things to watch down the stretch run of the baseball season, including tight NL Cy Young and AL MVP races (1:31). Then, we invite MLB Network’s Stephen Nelson and MLB.com’s Sarah Langs to draft a Frankenstein MLB playoff team—each person builds the best team possible by picking a lineup, a starting pitching rotation, a bullpen, a manager, and a team “vibe” from the remaining teams in the playoff hunt (17:46).

Hosts: Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman
Guests: Sarah Langs and Stephen Nelson
