The busiest part of baseball’s postseason is upon us — all four division series will be going by Friday. Friday, in fact, is the best baseball day of the year, as all eight remaining postseason teams will be in action in their respective ALDS and NLDS.

On a new StewPod, the Yahoo Sports’ baseball podcast, we’re talking to two men in the thick of it — one is Cody Bellinger, the Los Angeles Dodgers star rookie who will play his first postseason game Friday when the Dodgers open their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The other is Yahoo Sports’ MLB columnist Jeff Passan, who joined us from Houston and will be at stadiums across this land throughout October.

We delve into every series — particularly talking about whether the Indians should fear the Yankees, if we might be underrating the Cubs and who might come out on top in the Red Sox-Astros series.

Bellinger joined us on behalf of sports nutrition MET-Rx, for whom he just starred in this new postseason hype video. With Bellinger, we talk about what it’s like going into the his first postseason, how the Dodgers’ losing streak affected the team and what it would mean for the Dodgers to finally win another World Series.
