Episode 475: Wild Card Preview

Episode 475: The 2026 MLB postseason has arrived. We have a bracket and matchups to dive into. But before Dallas, JayHay, Jared, and Tyler give their predictions, the guys react to an emotional weekend of baseball retirements. Justin Verlander’s storybook ending set the template for how first-ballot Hall of Famers want to leave the game, with Max Scherzer following closely behind in his own unique way of potentially wrapping up his career. Each Wild Card series is discussed in depth, and everyone on the panel gives official predictions for who moves on to the Division Series.
