Let's go the Mets, the Dodgers, the Nationals, the Rangers, the Orioles, the Blue Jays, the Tigers, the Mariners, the Indians, the Giants, and the Red Sox, in no particular order.

So if the Orioles lose, Jays lose, Tigers win 2, and Mariners win tonight (losing right now) and tomorrow, there are 4 AL wild card teams.

The Giants won in 2010 with improbable performances but the strength of EYBS was forged in Cincy down 0-2 with Hunter Pence and his Goddamned Crazy Eyes

(Cubs in 4 max)

It's going 4 minimum and probably 5, given that john lackey is john lackey

holy poo poo that actually happened

Spoeank, to help you along, I'm pretty sure this is true: there have only ever been 2 games in the postseason where the winning team faced the minimum number of batters. Don Larsen's perfect game, and game 6 of the 2016 NLCS. Both came against the Dodgers, who lost both series.
