Wild Card Preview: Yankees-Red Sox, Braves-Phillies, Cubs-Padres & Astros-White Sox

On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at all four Wild Card matchups, including the New York Yankees facing off with their bitter rival, the Boston Red Sox , in the Bronx for the second consecutive year. With the Yankees opting to start Game 1 with their ace, Cam Schlittler , on the mound, will that prove to be a successful strategy in getting the Yankees to the ALDS, or will the Red Sox offense come alive and pull off the upset?

Later in the show, Jake and Jordan break down the Philadelphia Phillies versus Atlanta Braves matchup, which sees the two NL East rivals do battle in Atlanta. They then preview the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres matchup, which will take place this time at Petco Park, as well as try to make sense of what a Houston Astros -Chicago White Sox series will look like. The guys close the show by highlighting Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer 's final starts in their potential Hall of Fame careers.
