It kinda kills the drama on the AL side when everyone is already in the playoffs. Tigers aren't even pitching Skubal today like they planned.

Reds and Mets is a fun nail-biter, though.

Yankees and Blue Jays has some drama since one team will be the top seed with home field and a bye and the other has to play a wild card series on Tuesday.

Tigers lose so Guardians win the division. They now play each other in a best of 3.

No, 1st and 2nd wild card teams play each other and 3rd wild card plays division winner with worst record of the three division winners, so Tigers-Guardians and Yankees-Red Sox.

And yet they're deciding the division winners based on head-to head record, rather than having a playoff.

The whole thing is wild. Those are two crazy first round matchups.

I don't like using tie breakers to decide the divisions but with the longer wild card series, there's not enough time to play an extra game.

I was critical of the Yanks earlier in the season, but they righted the ship and made a run at the Jays near the end, winning 12 of the last 13 games of the season.

Jays pulled out the tiebreaker though.

It is amazing, that through the doom and gloom of Yankees fans…and the calls to fire Aaron Boone through the entire season, they still ended up tied for the best record in the American League, and had the best run differential in the AL (2nd best in MLB)…by a lot.

Love the no Zombie runners in the playoffs, but hate the 3 game series to start it all off. Wish they could find their way to do 5 games in the 1st round.

Both Reds and Mets lose to tumble into the playoffs. Yet the reds uncork the bottles anyway! Fingers crossed they somehow beat the Dodgers!

I'm going to be rooting for the Reds and the Guardians.
