If I was in American League I would want the third wildcard spot, that team would play Minnesota in a 2/3 in wild card series.... Same in National League 3rd Wildcard would get Brewers as of rite now.....
You’re right. There will be some very good teams getting put out in the first round while the AL Central division is abysmal. Right now it would be Blue Jays at Twins and Astros at Rays in the AL. Giants ant Phillies and Cubs at Brewers in the NL. The Rays and Astros could be a matchup of 95-win wild card teams…

MLB Power Rankings: Which bubble teams are on the brink?

Lost in the wave of Ronald Acuna Jr.'s spectacular season and Matt Olson's barrage of home runs and RBIs is that Austin Riley is quietly having another excellent season after a bit of a slow start. He's up to 29 home runs and 4.2 WAR as he could be headed for a third straight 30-homer, five-WAR season. Only 12 third basemen have ever had at least three such seasons -- including Chipper Jones, who had five. Riley hit .266 with a .775 OPS and 16 home runs in the first half but has hit .318 with a 1.070 and 13 home runs since the All-Star break. Ozzie Albies did land on the IL with a hamstring strain, after not missing a game all season, but trade deadline acquisition Nicky Lopezwent 7-for-14 to start his tenure with the Braves and is a plus defender. -- Schoenfield
