The Major League Baseball playoffs begin today with the newly formatted Wild Card Rounds. Four best-of-three series across the American and National Leagues, with the winners moving on to face the top seed in the Division Series.
The 2024 Wild Card tilts are far from mere play-in games. Remember, the “worst” division winners immediately take the No. 3 seeds. This includes the NL Central winning Milwaukee Brewers, who won 93 games and finished with the No. 3 run differential in baseball at +136.
We’ve also got the young and hungry New York Mets this year, fresh off of clinching their spot in a Monday doubleheader.
