It's not often that we get a final week of the MLB regular season with this much at stake -- and with this many of the teams in the mix playing each other. Unlike over the weekend, several of this week's head-to-head matchups feature games with teams battling for a playoff spot, fighting for playoff seeding or simply trying to stay alive.
All of which meant Tuesday night was the biggest night of the baseball season -- so far anyway. Now that we're in the final days, it creates a playoff-like, must-win intensity to these games.
