Who is your "second" MLB team?

"It's not looking good for the Braves to make the playoffs this time. Crazy, I know, but it's not our year. You see some Braves fans dip out of baseball in September, regardless of the record, and catch back up in the playoffs. They might be gone, but I still like baseball and want to follow as much I can before the dry winter."

"So who is your second favorite MLB team? I have some good memories of the Dodgers. When the Braves were rebuilding and my kid was still a baby, I watched and listened to a lot of Dodger games. In early 2017, they went on a murderkilling run. But it's hard to get behind one of the mega-money, Manfred-ball-juiced triad of Dodgers-Mets-Yankees right now. I have watched a fair amount of the Brewers. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if the Guardians went on a run either."

Braves appear unlikely to reach the playoffs this season. Some Braves fans disengage in September and then return for postseason play. The fan intends to continue following baseball through the offseason despite reduced local prospects. The fan requests others' second-favorite MLB teams and recalls strong memories of the Dodgers during a Braves rebuilding period while caring for a baby. The Dodgers' early 2017 surge made an impression, but support for high‑payroll teams like Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees feels difficult. The fan has watched the Brewers and would welcome a Guardians run. A new poll can collect non‑Braves favorites.
