Exclamation 2024 MLB Playoffs

Major League Baseball is the oldest major professional sports league in the world, and today it is the premier league of baseball in North America. Every year, 12 teams (3 division champions and 3 wild card teams from both the American and National Leagues) compete for the World Series title.

The division winners are seeded 1-3, while the wild card teams are seeded 4-6. The top-2 division winners receive a bye to the Division Series, while the remaining 8 teams compete in the Wild Card Series. The third-placed division winner plays the lowest-seeded wild card team, while the two remaining wild card teams play each other. All 3 games of the best-of-3 series are at the better seed's home stadium. The winners move on to the Division series, which is best-of-5. The Championship Series and World Series are best-of-7.

Correct picks in the Wild Card Series are worth 1 point each. All games in the wild card round start on Tuesday October 1st. Here are the match-ups:

American League:

Detroit Tigers at Houston Astros (2:32pm EST)
Kansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles (4:08pm EST)

National League:

New York Mets at Milwaukee Brewers (5:32 pm EST)
Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres (8:38 pm EST)

Two teams out of the New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks will make the playoffs as NLWC2 and NLWC3. The NY Mets play 2 games at Atlanta today. If they each win 1 game, they will both make the playoffs. If either team loses both games, that team will not make the playoffs and Arizona will make the playoffs.

I will accept picks labeled NLWC2 or NLWC3....or you can wait until I fill in the teams tonight. In any case, in order to be eligible, you must make your picks before the start time of the playoff games tomorrow.


Please note that I am listing this with the approval of happy5214 in order to give him a much needed break.
