Shame we could not won Skubal’s last two starts. We would be 1 win behind the twins.
Man all those great Olson starts we wasted..

KC is so lucky. Wins 1-0 in 10th on a damn error. Washington is terrible.

It's been so long since I have paid any attention to the playoffs. I was pretty shocked to see that the Tigers have to play all three games on the road in the first round of the wild card.

Yup only the top wildcard seed gets home games. I feel that there should be 1 home game for ever team in a three game series.
