October has arrived and it's brought postseason baseball with it.

MLB's wild-card round begins Tuesday, with four games spread throughout the afternoon and evening.

Twelve teams remain in the hunt for the Commissioner’s Trophy. Four of them − The New York Yankees, Cleveland Guardians, Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies − get first round byes while the other eight battle it out in the best-of-three wild-card round.

The only thing we know for certain heading into October is that a new team will be crowned champion with the 2024 defending World Series champion Texas Rangers not in the postseason.
