2 years in the expanded wild card era, small sample but only 1 wildcard series went 3 games. Padres Mets 2022. I am thinking taking one team or the other in 2 is the smart play. Houston in 2. But I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit goes on a run either. We've seen time and time again these teams who get hot late in the season continue staying hot. Every post season it seems like there is a team like this.
