Heading into the final weekend of the MLB regular season, the NL Wild Card picture was the last piece of the postseason puzzle to fall into place. However, due to the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves raining out last week, it will take a doubleheader on Monday to determine who will play baseball in October.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the two eventful games that will clinch two playoff spots and the storyline the Arizona Diamondbacks need to punch their ticket to the dance as they wait for Monday. The guys talk about the interesting leadoff pitching strategies the Mets and Braves will deploy in Game 1 and why we will most likely be deprived of champagne shower celebrations due to the nature of the schedule.
Also in this episode of Baseball-B-Cast Bar, Jake and Jordan preview the American League Wild Card Series which will see the Detroit Tigers take on the Houston Astros and the Kansas City Royals take on the Baltimore Orioles. In addition to picking who advances to the ALDS, the guys talk about the stories leading up to each game and which teams have advantages over their opponent via roster comparison.
