The MLB Playoffs are in full swing. Fans were treated to some sublime action in the Wild Card Series. We are now ready to into the first round of the 2022 MLB Division Series.
In the American League Wild Card Series, the Seattle Mariners overcame an 8-1 deficit against the Toronto Blue Jays to eventually win the game by a score of 10-9. Meanwhile, Oscar Gonzalez walked it off for his team against the Tampa Bay Rays.
In the National League, NL East favorites, the New York Mets, crashed out at the hands of the San Diego Padres. Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals packed their bags as they went down to the Philadelphia Phillies in straight games.
That leaves us with eight teams in the 2022 MLB Playoffs. The Seattle Mariners will go on to play their divisional foe, the Houston Astros. In another AL matchup, the Cleveland Guardians will take on the New York Yankees.
In the National League theater of the MLB Playoffs, things are just as interesting. The San Diego Padres will take on the defending World Series champions, the Altanta Braves. Meanwhile, Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies will travel to the City of Angels to take on the Dodgers.
