00:00But DRS, the American League is set. Here is the postseason picture in the AL. The Guardians
00:11only played 161 because they could not catch the Yankees. New York will be the top overall
00:17seed in the American League playoff picture. Cleveland also that opening round by the Astros
00:23clinching the American League West about a week and a half ago. The Orioles sweeping
00:27the Twins to end out this weekend. Despite Baltimore not really needing the series,
00:32they a large cushion for that top overall wild card. And because of the twin slide to end out
00:38the year and a hot play out of Detroit, it's going to be the Royals and the Tigers in the final two
00:44American League wild card spots. Detroit did drop its final two games of the year after beating the
00:51White Sox on Friday to make history in Major League Baseball. The White Sox now officially
00:56the worst team we have ever seen in the modern era. 121 L's. That the most we have ever seen
01:03since the year 1900. So a little bit of reshuffling in terms of the AL Central
01:08teams into the postseason. But that's how it looks in the American League.
01:13Yeah, it's fun to get new teams in, right? We didn't anticipate the Tigers making it in. Like
01:17to see that same thing with the Kansas City Royals played well down the stretch. Or should I say
01:21almost the opposite? Detroit was awesome down the stretch and Kansas City sort of backed their way
01:25but they still found their way in. And that's the thought process around 162 game season.
01:29There's games that you win early and middle of the season count just the same as those
01:33wins or losses late in September. So they got in. The interesting part is going to be
01:36game number one, Houston and Detroit. Probably going to be frame Revaldez taking on Tarek
01:40Scoble. Like the total of that game was what? Three and a half for that game? That's going to
01:44be crazy to watch it play out. And that's, yeah, that's the one scenario that I look at and say
01:49to myself, like the Tigers aren't a great baseball team, but they do have the best pitcher in baseball
01:54in the short series. And if you're Houston, like, come on, like I understand the Royals are quite,
01:58we couldn't get the Royals in this spot here. So that's going to be a series to watch right
02:01off the bat. But also keep in mind, the Dodgers are the number one overall seed in baseball.
02:05The Philadelphia Phillies are the two seed here. So I was watching that over the weekend to see
02:09if the Yankees might be able to claim it or even the Guardians who got that game rained out. So
02:12looking longer down the line, it'll be interesting how it plays out. But we always thought, at least
02:16I thought the Yankees would be that top overall seed in the American league. And they did get that.
02:24Yeah.
