World Series Special -- December 5, 2017

It's a Red and Green XMas Series!

The 2017 World Series will feature the three and four seeds as the Athletics and Reds square off for the ultimate prize! 

The Athletics squeaked by the Red Sox four games to three, proving that it's better to be lucky than good. Jean Segura named MVP there. 

Meanwhile the Giants met the same fate as numerous number one seeds before them, falling four games to two to the four-seed Reds. Carlos Martinez gets the MVP honors in that one.
