The Wild Card game is the playoffs. It’s been debated if it truly counts, but much like spumoni ice cream is still ice cream, whether you like it or not, it counts. While Seattle’s win last night drew them within just 3.0 GB of Houston for the AL West lead, with two months to go it’s likely a race for the Wild Card game. With 7.0 dominant innings from James Paxton Seattle swept aside the reigning World Champs thanks to a few timely hits off Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole and a nearly impeccable pitching performance start to finish.
