I don't know about you, but I missed having an MLB topic here this season. I would've chimed in on this or that throughout the course of the year if there were one and I suppose was just too unmotivated to make one myself.

I'm not letting that slide for the postseason. The stage is set for the Wild Card round beginning Tuesday.

AL
  1. Orioles
  2. Astros
  3. Twins vs 6. Blue Jays
  4. Rays vs 5. Rangers


NL
  1. Braves
  2. Dodgers
  3. Brewers vs 6. Diamondbacks
  4. Phillies vs. 5. Marlins


Who has your prediction to win it all?

I'm definitely rooting against the large market powerhouses. So no Astros, Braves, Dodgers, or Phillies in the WS please. Of course, my hometown favorite is the Brewers so I'm rooting for them, but would love to see anyone topple the giants and give us a small-market WS.

The Mariners did everything in their power to both get eliminated and give the Astros the division and it's the most Mariners outcome possible.

Also here comes Braves/Astros or Dodgers/Astros zzzz

As an Orioles fan, obviously I want them to win. And doing it against the Diamondbacks in the World Series would make for an amazing story since they both lost 110 games just two seasons ago.

I really don't want any permutation of Astros vs. Braves/Dodgers/Phillies, but I also am kind of expecting it. Hopefully Dusty Baker gets in the way of himself along the way.

I would appreciate the dbacks beating Milwaukee as I have playoff tickets for the NLDS in Arizona.

Did the same for SD last year.

I want to pick against the Astros for the AL but they get a free pass to the ALCS, meanwhile the 3 teams that could beat them all play each other first. So dumb how MLB sets up the playoffs now. And it's not even like, teams were underrated by record. It's literally the 3 highest record teams on one side of the bracket.

I'm really mad that the Rangers lost the AL West on the last day by losing 1-0 in game 162

After they had the worst fucking bullpen ever for 161 games
And had one of the best goddamn offenses in baseball for 161 games

I'm actually mad about it.

There are other games that you can point at too, but that's gonna stand out and sting hard because literal last one.

Rangers >>> Orioles > Twins > D-Backs > Marlins > Brewers > Rays > Phillies >>> Jays > Dodgers >>> Braves >>> Fuck Houston and their shitty fanbase and cheating asses.

The Os and Twins are the favorite teams of some people I'm close with, so they get a bump, but Os would be my second pick team regardless.

Houston fanbase has managed to hit new lows in the past couple days, and fuck them forever. I wish them eternal reruns of 2000

That challenge could end up going down as the dumbest in the playoffs already.

A single look at the replay was it should've taken to confirm it.

I mean, even with the previous rules there would have been a tiebreaker game in each league followed by 1 game playoffs.

Now if you're longing for the single wildcard rules then yes I agree.

Aside from the Brewers and them stranding like 89 people on base, not much really happened either.

with the yankees not in the postseason i would like to see a team that doesn't win make noise. been rooting for orioles just because they haven't been relevant in my lifetime but texas looks to take them out quickly. if the orioles go down i guess i will pull for the twins or texas and failing that wouldn't mind seeing a dbacks run as it seems the most improbable

I was literally just going to post this! I saw that too. Apparently, every time the Brewers made the postseason (even going back to the 80s when they played in the AL), the team that knocked them out either made it to the World Series or won the World Series.

To keep that strange and frustrating record going, the Dbacks will need to at least make it to the World Series this year.

Teams should be trying to manipulate their postseason seeding to play the Brewers early on, because the Brewers always lose in the playoffs. 1-9 in their last 10 games

I was looking into this and I learned that the Brewers went 26 years without making the playoffs. and I thought the Mariners were bad!

Yes, by all metrics, the Brewers are currently in their golden age of the franchise having made the playoffs 5 of the last 6 seasons. The Brewers have 3 division titles in the past 6 years (2018-2023). The Brewers have that same amount of division titles throughout the rest of our franchise history (1970-2017), and that includes the aforementioned 26 year playoff drought in there. Sadly, not much playoff success has occurred during that time, with an NLCS appearance in 2018 and one in 2011 being our farthest recent success.
