And so it is down to four.
Four teams left in the 2015 MLB playoffs, and four possible World Series matchups.
The New York Mets own a 2-0 edge over the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series with the scene shifting to the Windy City for Game 3 on Tuesday.
The Kansas City Royals, meanwhile, hold a 2-1 advantage in the American League Championship Series over the Toronto Blue Jays, who rumbled to life with a huge win Monday north of the border.
The point is, nothing's settled. All potential Fall Classics remain firmly in play: Mets-Royals, Mets-Blue Jays, Cubs-Royals and Cubs-Blue Jays. They're all compelling, and they'd all deliver must-watch intrigue.
But who would win?
Let's parse that question, breaking down each permutation and picking a theoretical champ, using head-to-head results when applicable, plus individual strengths and weaknesses and a dollop of gut feeling.
In reality, we'll get one World Series winner, and we'll happily take it. But as long as there are four possibilities dangling out there, why not pick 'em all?
