So a .500 team has a 1st round bye???

.525 because of winning the division.

It 's like in the NFL when an 8-9 division winner hosting a 10-7 Wildcard winner.

White Sox vs Houston on Peacock only?

White Sox vs Houston on Peacock only?

No, the Chicago White Sox vs. Houston Astros MLB Wild Card Series is not exclusive to Peacock. While it is streaming live on Peacock, all games in this best-of-three playoff matchup are also being broadcast live on television via NBCSN (NBC Sports Network).

Rice is a beast.

Glad to see the Yankees take out the trash quickly. On to Tampa who has always been tough on them

[Rabidraider]

No matter what happens from this point forward, the Yankees had a great season. Dispatching Boston is just great fun.

I had a parrot that I taught to say "Boston Sucks"...

I know a lot of Boston fans this makes my off season a lot quieter. I wish I didn't make plans this weekend I could go to game 1 in Tampa

The probable for game 5 is currently listed as Cole. If they really give Cole the start over Schlittler, Boone and Cash should be immediately fired. He's the freakin Cy Young winner and youre not starting him in game 5?

I would even start Rodon today over Cole. He's been great the past few weeks and Cole hasn't.

I fear both are rusty do to not pitching in quite a while.

If the Yankees can win today they win the series.

well everyone has to start 1 game, so I dont care who starts today. The games are on Oct 3,5,7,8 and 10. The game 5 pitcher can be be either the game 1 (Cole or Rodon on 7 days rest) or game 2 starter (Schlitter on 5 days rest). CBS sports has Cole listed as the game 5 starter. Neither Rodon nor Cole should be the starter for game 5 over Schlitter.
