No matter how good your team's closer is, they've made every postseason game a nail-biter

By Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman

Each October, the MLB postseason belongs to someone or something. With so much good baseball packed into one month, it's sometimes tough to follow all the madness. So, we created the Baseball October Arbitrary Ranking Device (The B.O.A.R.D.) to keep track of it all.
With the momentum seemingly in the Dodgers' favor after winning Game 2 and heading home to Los Angeles, the NLCS took another turn with the Brewers shutting out L.A. in Game 3 behind a stellar performance from Jhoulys Chacin and yet another unlikely home run by Orlando Arcia. The Dodgers brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth, but Jeremy Jeffress managed to escape and the Brewers prevailed, 4-0. 
Tuesday brings us two more LCS games, with ALCS Game 3 in Houston and a huge NLCS Game 4 in Los Angeles. Who does the postseason belong to with World Series Game 1 just a week away?
