MLB Exciting Season End
MLB Exciting Season End
MLB Exciting Season End Obviously if you're a Cardinals fan, you just shrug it off, hope for a better 2027.
If you're a Cubs fan, you're excited because they clinched the wild card so there's always hope they'll get farther than last year.
If you're a White Sox fan, you're probably overjoyed because they're battling out Cleveland for the AL Central Division. Sox are 1 game behind Cleveland. So as of 7:57pm, Sox were losing to Rockies 5-2 (Seriously the Rockies?) and Guardians were winning 7-3 against Royals. The big story is last year, the White Sox ended 2025 in last place with a very dismal record. So that team has done a 180 degree turnaround.
Another close race is between Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. Tied for 1st in AL West. I'm kind of rooting for Rangers because Patrick Cunningham, a WMBD morning Co-Anchor, is from Texas, and the Rangers are his team. When we see each other in the newsroom, we talk about Cubs and Rangers. The story here is, both teams are battling for 1st place...with a losing record. That's how bad the AL West has been this year. Either team could just have a .500 record and clinch the division. Houston is starting soon against Athletics, and Rangers are up 6-2.
Finally, the 3rd NL wild card is up for grabs, depending on what the Phillies or Diamondbacks do. And if the Cubs win tomorrow, and Padres lose both games, it'll be a tie for top wildcard, and Cubs will win tiebreaker because of their 5-1 record against Padres in 2026.
I don't think I've seen an end to an MLB season like this for a long time. Anything can happen tonight and tomorrow.
