On Thursday night, the entire baseball world watched only the second Game 3 of the Wild Card Series era, and it was one that fans will never forget. The New York Mets pulled off one of the greatest postseason comebacks ever when Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning, leading to a series victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the thrilling series finale before previewing what will be one of the most exciting divisional rounds in recent memory. With the Philadelphia Phillies meeting the Mets in the postseason for the first time ever and Shohei Ohtani making his playoff debut as the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the rival San Diego Padres, the National League will provide some excitement.
Later, Jake and Jordan dive into the American League Division Series, where the New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals meet in the playoffs for the first time since the 1980 ALCS, in what could be a true David vs. Goliath showdown. The guys also discuss how the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers made ALDS history, becoming the first two teams from the AL Central to ever face each other in the postseason.
