We can’t help ourselves. Yes, we have a big Election Day coming up in less than two weeks — but we’re also caught up in the excitement of our Milwaukee Brewers playing in the World Series after a season that saw the club post the best record in baseball this year.

The Tampa Bay Rays (with former Brewers’ ace Freddy Peralta) will also be chasing their first-ever MLB championship, after posting the best record in the American League.

So let’s get right to it. Who ya’ got?
