If you're looking for a reason to root for someone in the playoffs, maybe this will help. The names below are taken from the active rosters during the last week of the regular season, as playoff rosters had not yet been set when this was written. If anyone was missed, please mention them in an LTE.
BOSTON RED SOX
Eduardo Nunez, Steve Pearce
HOUSTON ASTROS
Ryan Pressly
CLEVELAND INDIANS
Neil Ramirez
NEW YORK YANKEES
Lance Lynn, Aaron Hicks
OAKLAND ATHLETICS
Liam Hendriks, Fernando Rodney

None.
ATLANTA BRAVES
Anibal Sanchez, Rene Rivera, Kurt Suzuki
COLORADO ROCKIES
Drew Butera
LOS ANGELES DODGERS
J. T. Chargois, Brian Dozier
My strong interest in seeing the Rockies win it all is tempered by Butters’ presence. I would be amused if he hit the game-winning homer to beat the Dodgers, though.
