Major League Baseball’s first foray into a best-of-three wild-card round provided its share of memorable moments.
Now it’s on to the division series, which is business as usual with a best-of-five format. The four matchups are Braves-Phillies, Padres-Dodgers, Mariners-Astros and Guardians-Yankees and all of them begin Tuesday.
Some of the game’s biggest stars are already headed home after the wild-card round: Max Scherzer, Pete Alonso and the Mets are gone after a 101-win season. The feel-good story of Cardinals veteran stars Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina is over partly because of a leaky bullpen. The Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. were bounced by a stunning Mariners comeback.
“I think it’s good. I think it’s better,” Francona said. “I think it’s a more true outcome. But then again, it might hurt us. I hope it doesn’t. Just think: you play 162 and then you play one and go home. That’s rough. I think this is good for the fans. I think it’s a better measure in competitive balance than a one-game play-in.”October’s postseason festivities will bleed into November before a champion is crowned.
