The Wild Card Game is shaping up to be a real doozy. Despite many bumps along the road, our 2018 Yankees have secured home-field advantage and are finishing strong, with two consecutive series wins against their divisional rivals and all of their key contributors healthy.
Meanwhile, the Oakland Athletics have kept on winning like crazy despite a decimated starting rotation, due to great play on both sides of the ball by their position players and a terrifying bullpen. Anyone who thinks that the Oakland A’s are the underdogs here are severely underestimating their abilities.
