Who Owns October (#WOO) Tallies Updated For October 12, 2018

Mark Hoffman, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
FINALLY we have some ballgames going on again. The NLCS started with a thriller… and had another rough October outing for Clayton Kershaw.
It is one thing to give up runs to the mighty Astros. But coughing up a bomb homer to reliever Brandon Woodruff? That is insane. I almost had Woodruff own October as a hitter AND a pitcher!
So who owned October?
Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)
And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.
At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter.
A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.
From October 12
NLCS Game 1:
Receiving 1 WOO
Lorenzo Cain went 3 for 5 with a double and a run scored as the Brewers topped the Dodgers, 6-5.
Brandon Woodruff threw 2 perfect innings, striking out 4 Dodgers and clobbered a startling homer off of Kershaw, earning the 6-5 decision in relief for Milwaukee.
Receiving 1/2 WOO
Manny Machado singled and homered, driving in 3, but the Dodgers fell just short in Milwaukee, 6-5.
