To The House Ep. 9: MLB Playoff Preview

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Here’s a twist: this chat comes from a youth drop-in centre in Wasilla, Alaska, where sports talk sits right alongside serious support for homeless and at‑risk young people. Isaac, Bryan and Ozzy kick things off with some light-hearted fantasy football misery, trading jabs about bad tight end choices, raider fandom and ‘phony’ undefeated teams.

It’s friendly roasting with plenty of humour, the kind of banter that reminds you how sport can be a safe outlet when life gets heavy. From there, it turns into a full-on baseball special. The trio break down the 2024 MLB playoff picture, talking hot teams, cold slumps and why the Detroit Tigers suddenly look like the feel‑good story of the post-season.

They weigh up Tigers vs Guardians, Royals vs Yankees and why the Yankees “look like world beaters this year”. There’s plenty of passion too – especially when Houston gets bounced and Detroit becomes the easy team to cheer for. On the National League side, they walk through the strange doubleheader that knocked the Diamondbacks out, the Mets’ dramatic win, and a Padres vs Dodgers showdown that pits Ozzy’s underdogs against Bryan’s newly adopted powerhouse.

Shohei Ohtani’s calm swagger, the pressure of big expectations and baseball’s team-first nature all get a mention. Underlying the laughs is a reminder of why this podcast exists: MY House is there for young people who need food, housing and job training, even while the hosts argue about who has the worst fantasy team.

As one of them puts it, “If you have not watched playoff baseball… you need to watch playoff baseball because it is electric.” If you like sports chat with heart, and you’re looking for something light but honest to keep you company, this one might be right up your street—who are you backing in this year’s playoffs?
