What World Series Matchup Would Be Most Watchable For Idahoans?

The Major League Baseball playoffs are heating up as the Dodgers, Padres, Mets, Yankees, Guardians, and Tigers were still in the World Series mix as of Friday night. Seeing as Idaho has no allegiance to an in-state, professional team, I had to ask the question to Gem State baseball fans what matchup would you be able to stomach the most?

The 2024 World Series matchup will be decided in just a few short days. I used to be a massive baseball fan, but I gravitate more towards hockey these days. I know there are a lot of Seattle Mariners fans in Idaho, but obviously, the club fell short of making a run at a championship this year.

 I know how many people in Idaho feel about California, so I'm guessing the Dodgers and Padres would not be teams many in the Gem State would want to see win it all.

The Oakland As played their final home game back on September 26, a game I attended. There were over 43,000 fans at the Oakland Coliseum on that Thursday afternoon, and the As beat the Texas Rangers and officially thanked their fans by signing autographs and hanging out on the field for almost an hour after the game ended. The team is expected to relocate to Las Vegas for the 2028 season, which will no doubt attract a lot of Idaho baseball fans to begin rooting for them.

Many sports analysts are saying that the winner of the Dodgers / Padres series will likely be crowned champions by season's end. I know how many people in Idaho feel about California, so I'm guessing the Dodgers and Padres would not be teams many in the Gem State would want to see win it all.

What teams would make for a World Series worth watching for Idahoans?
