Trying to catch up in the wild-card race, the Brewers instead saw the reigning NL MVP foul a ball off himself and go down with a broken right kneecap Tuesday night."

Oakland is ranked fourth overall and made the wildcard in their league. Would love to see them make the World Series sometime in the near future.

 

[tripplej]

Every team has a good opportunity to win it all.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Playoffs this year are going to be insane... a ton of really strong teams. Can't wait to see the AL Wild Card go down tonight!

Wouldn't want to have to play: Astros or Nationals in the playoffs this year. Both teams have 3-arm SP rotations that could potential carry a team all the way.

Will be interesting to see if baseball changes the ball for next year. This year obviously had serious problems... I'm sure MLB was looking to spice things up a bit. Probably didn't think it would get spiced up this much!

 

[mechman]

As much as I’d like to see the Twins win, I think they’ll go down in 4 to the Yanks. Astros will win it all this year.

As much as I’d like to see the Twins win, I think they’ll go down in 4 to the Yanks. Astros will win it all this year.

That’s my pick but I think the Dodgers will be a tough out.

from click2houston,

"The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Oakland A's 5-1 in the American League Wild Card Game on Wednesday night, securing their place in the American League Division Series against the Astros. "

 

[tripplej]

Updated bracket,

 

[tripplej]

Astros won their first game against the Rays.. Final score 6 to 2. Way to go Astros!

 

[tripplej]

Astros won their second game against the Rays. Final Score 3 to 1. Way to go Astros!

 

[tripplej]

Rays won the 3rd game against the Astros. Now, we have a series at 2 to 1. Final Score 10 to 3.

 

[Sonnie]

Man... the Braves were so close and they let it get away. I use to watch every Braves game back in the day... even went to a couple of games. Lost interest.. but if they were to make it to the final dance, I'd probably watch it again.

 

[tripplej]

Well, the braves series is tied 2 to 2.. So, they do have a good chance to win the series.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Braves are pretty awesome. They have one of my all-time favorite players (former Baltimore Oriole, Nick Markakis)... just a rock-solid guy who was known for his charity work in the Baltimore area. I'm pulling for them to win it all this year. Would be great to see him nab a ring.

Yankees are looking tough. A Yankees vs Astros ALCS would be INSANE. In fact, in my opinion, that matchup would be the real world series this year.

 

[tripplej]

Rays won again against the Astros in the 4th game. Series is now 2-2. Final score 4 to 1. This is going to be a close series.

Updated bracket, showing Yankees moving ahead.
