MLB Playoffs: Which Wild Card Race Is More Intriguing?

With nearly all the division titles locked up, the only thing left unsettled are who will be the four Wild Card teams in the MLB playoffs. Both races should be fun to watch with just under a week left in the regular season. But which one would an impartial baseball fan find more exciting? 

It’s that time of the year again. NFL football is in full swing, the leaves are changing, the temperature is cooling down and the MLB playoffs are about to begin.

With that, we already know the winners of almost every division even with six days remaining in the regular season. The Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers, Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers have all booked their tickets to the postseason with division crowns, and the Boston Red Sox should join them shortly. But if you think that this is going to make these next couple of series uneventful, you are mistaken.

Both the American and National Leagues have some very intriguing Wild Card races shaping up that should provide much drama in the final days of MLB’s regular season. Looking at the races right now, there are probably eight teams fighting for the final four postseason spots.

However, this doesn’t mean that both races are the same. There are a variety of different storylines that baseball fans will have to look out for over this last week. Not only does each game matter more, you finally get the feeling that playoff baseball has arrived. Eyes will be locked in on every pitch as a single hit or error could make the difference between a club playing or watching come October.

It should be a fun final ride. But which Wild Card race reigns supreme? Let’s dive in.
