The grueling 162-game major league baseball season has come to an end.
The postseason starts with six teams from each division. Four teams earned first-round byes (Yankees, Astros, Braves and Dodgers). The other eight franchise pair up in three-game series over the Columbus Day weekend.
Here’s a look at the National League wild-card series matchup between the NL Central champion and third-seeded Cardinals and sixth-seeded Phillies. The Cardinals are favored at SI Sportsbook to win the series and face the second-seeded Braves in the NLDS.
