As much as I dislike The Post, that's a unique cover with a surprisingly clever headline and good use of color in "Sports." It loses points because something good is mentioned about the MFYs but it's still my choice.

Seeds I think is hands down the best photo we've seen. Most of the credit to the photographer here, but this was one of the few I actually liked.

Love those Seeds.

Seeds for me, but again, not in love with the cover. The picture and the moment are both terrific. But the headline obscure the picture, and I just don't like the "Seeds" headline. I don't think it does enough. It's cluttered. Especially with the unnecessary orange "SPORTS" behind it. Landslide is not a great cover either, and not a particularly memorable moment in the season, but that headline layout is better. But we already have a Cespedes cover in the final. So Seeds it is.
