The Red Sox playoff push and Wild Card races across MLB are giving fans a reason to pay attention in late September.
I don't know whose take I'm stealing here, but adding a third Wild Card team in both the AL and the NL was the right move. Sure, I'm a Red Sox fan, so I'm pulling for the Sox to secure a postseason spot. But I'm a baseball fan, and these races are must-watch.
The Tigers are collapsing while their AL Central rival Guardians are making an historic September surge. The NL Wild Card, once thought to be a foregone conclusion, could see the Mets on the outside looking in come week's end. Good. To hell with the Mets.
