Wanted the Mariners to win, but they woulda had no shot against the Dodgers. Too many K's - JRod refused to take the walk.
Toronto might at least make it interesting.
Dodgers 4-2

He's gained some fans. His card have gone up 10x. He'll be hobby relevant til April/May '26 - But if he fails to hit 50+ HR next year or win the World Series his prices will drop. The hobby is tough.
