Injuries, slumps, rest for starters, and a host of other factors always affect fantasy play. For us, in any FGM matchup, whether it be during the regular season, but more so in the playoffs, the dreaded red flag is an ominious sign. It's something none of us like to see.
The Phillies have had a successful season, and have stayed pretty much injury free, with the exception of Joe Panik. With that, Panik contributed some solid nights last week in the Phillies matchup with the Cubs--but then Bryce Harper gets involved in a freak collision on the basepaths and has to leave the game in the 1st inning on Sunday. Will he be available? Will the stomach flu continue to hamper Sterling Marte and keep him out of the lineup? Will the Giants risk playing a banged up Joe Panik with Kelby Tomlinson playing so well? These are all important questions for the Philadelphia Phillies as they begin their World Series battle with the Oakland A's.
For their part, the red flag is nowhere in sight in the Oakland A's lineup. The A's dusted off the red-hot Rangers and advanced to the World Series as FGM's #1 seed. Will the powerful lineup of the A's, featuring Buster Posey, Andrew McCutchen, Josh Donaldson, Robinson Cano, and Matt Carpenter be too much for FGM's "rebuilding wonders" Phillies?
Will the red flag be the deciding factor? Or will the FGM community be entertained by a competive, evenly matched battle that comes down to the final day? The 2015 playoffs have had some surprises--will the World Series be any different?
Stay tuned for further updates!!! :bacon: :bla: :bla: :taco: :beer:
