| ryan | musings | I’ve been thinking a bit about how to decide which team to root for. Mostly I just want to stay logically consistent with the way I choose to root for a team (when the Dodgers aren't playing obviously). After much thought (and sketches on my iPad) I’ve come up with this table to help me determine who to root for: * * * Opp1 / Opp 2 NL West NL Central NL East AL West AL Central AL East **NL West** Root for team that helps the Dodgers NL Central Team NL East Team NL West Team,unless it hurts the Dodgers NL West Team,unless it hurts the Dodgers NL West Team,unless it hurts the Dodgers **NL Central** NL Central Team Root for underdog NL Central Team NL Central Team NL Central Team NL Central Team **NL East** NL East Team NL Central Team Root for underdog NL East Team NL East Team NL East Team **AL West** NL West Team,unless it hurts the Dodgers NL Central Team NL East Team The Angels over the A's over the Mariners over the Rangers over the Astros AL West Team AL West Team **AL Central** NL West Team,unless it hurts the Dodgers NL Central Team NL East Team AL West Team Root for underdog AL Central Team **AL East** NL West Team,unless it hurts the Dodgers NL Central Team NL East Team AL West Team AL Central Team Root for underdog (unless it's the Yankees) * * * The basic rule is root for the team that helps the Dodgers payoff changes, then National League over American League and finally West over Central over East (from a division perspective).

Of course, this is all subject to change depending on the impact any game would have on the Dodgers. | 2018-04-02 | how-to-pick-a-team-to-root-for-when-the-dodgers-arent-playing | I’ve been thinking a bit about how to decide which team to root for.
