A lot of Major League Baseball franchise made the playoffs this year. A lot.
Eight of them will begin their postseason journey today. At the time of writing this, the Detroit Tigers hold a 3-0 lead over the Houston Astros in the battle of ‘which cap will Justin Verlander wear on his Hall of Fame plaque.’
Verlander, I should point out, was omitted from the Astros wild card series roster due to his underperformance since he began dealing with a neck problem.
The Kansas City Royals will take on the Baltimore Orioles at 4 PM ET in Camden Yards.
