I decided to hold back on declaring MR. OCTOBERS for the League Division Game 5s until all three Game 5s were done, thus allowing me to wrap up the LDS round in a nice bow. Now, since Game 5 (or, in 7-game series, Game 7) are worth double points, the MR. OCTOBERS of these games got double points, in this case, six points.

So, who were the MR. OCTOBERS?

In Texas vs. Toronto, the Mr. Octobers were Marcus Stroman, and Jose Bautista, who unleashed the Bat-Flip Of The Gods.

In Kansas City vs. Houston, the Mr. Octobers were Alex Rios and Johnny Cueto.

And, finally, in last night’s Dodgers-Mets game, they were Daniel Murphy and Jeurys Familia.
