Before we get to the Division Series or the Championship Series, it's time for the Wild Card round to kick off the 2024 MLB postseason. After an often unpredictable regular season on the diamond, this year's Wild Card round should live up to its name. Here's how it works: there are 8 teams fighting to move on to the Division Series in a best-of-3 series that runs from Tuesday to Thursday. Each series will have the same location for every game, so bein g the home team is a massive advantage in this format. The four teams that advance will play on Saturday, so it will be a grueling week for those that do advance after a long 162-game season.
Below, you can find the Wild Card matchups with the series winner odds as well as my best bet for each series. We’ve waited 6 long months for playoff baseball, and now it’s finally here. Let’s get into it.
