The MLB wild-card round has come to an end, and now the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds are entering the fray. After pulling off upsets in the first round, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers are hoping to carry that momentum into their matchups against tougher opponents in the Division Series.
In what could be considered the most surprising performance of the first round, the Minnesota Twins, despite being the higher seed, won their first playoff game since 2004 with a Game 1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. They continued their momentum into Game 2 and completed an impressive sweep. However, they now face their biggest challenge yet as they take on the defending World Series champions, the Houston Astros, in the ALDS on Day 1.
Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers start their five-game series against the No. 1 seed Baltimore Orioles. Both teams are looking to make their mark in the postseason.
