Elephant Rumblings: Only One Wild Card Series Goes The Distance

Only one MLB Wild Card series will require a decisive Game 3 after the Phillies mounted an extra-innings comeback against the Braves. Meanwhile, the Yankees, Padres, and White Sox all completed two-game sweeps against the Red Sox, Cubs, and Astros respectively to secure their spots in the Division Series round.

Division Series matchups feature the Yankees against the Tampa Bay Rays, the White Sox against the Cleveland Guardians, and the Milwaukee Brewers taking on the Padres. Connor Ashford also notes that Oakland Athletics fans are still waiting for the team to hire a new General Manager before the playoffs conclude.
