With both starting pitchers (Chris Tillman and Marcus Stroman) not pitching their best right now, both might give up at least 3 runs, as both offenses are lethal. It will come down to a battle of the bullpens.
O’s: Need to score at least 4 runs either be at down by no more than 2 runs going into the 7th inning or up by at least 1 run, as they have one of the best bullpens in the league.
Jays: Need to get out in front by running up the score, then the crowd should do the rest.
5-3 O’s
NLWC
The pitching matchup that might be so good that it makes fans forget about the historical A’s vs KC Wild Card game. Whoever pitches better, that team will win.
Mets: Going to need to score 4+ runs and be ahead going into the 7th inning. Lefties are batting .262 against Syndergaard and the Giants have 5 lefties in the lineup.
Giants: If the offense can manage to get 2 or 3 runs off of Syndergaard and Mad-Bum can keep fooling left handed hitters and continuing his playoff brilliance, then the bullpen should take care of the rest if needed.
4-2 Giants
