There are currently eight teams still alive.

And tonight, for the last time this season, there will be four games on the menu. We're talking about two games #3 in the National and two games #4 in the American.

  • American: Mariners and Blue Jays lead series 2-1
  • National: Dodgers and Brewers lead series 2-0

And that's not counting the Canadiens-Maple Leafs NHL match-up. Big night of sports in Quebec, isn't it?

Since we're talking about a 3-of-5 series, it's safe to assume that four teams will be forced to return home tonight, and that the final four will be official by tomorrow morning.

However, it's also possible to believe that no one will be eliminated tonight, and that tomorrow will see two #4 games in the National. If all goes to plan, game #5 will take place on Friday in the American and on Saturday in the National.

So we'll be keeping a close eye on the day's four duels.

MLB

At 3:08 p.m., Bryce Miller and Casey Mize will cross swords in Detroit. Will the Tigers have the resources to survive without Tarik Skubal on the mound? Hard to say.

The Mariners have a great forward line and good pitching. Will they advance to the championship series for the first time since 2001?

At 5:08 p.m., Quinn Priester and Jameson Taillon cross swords in Chicago. Will the Cubs, who have been out of their league since the start of the series, manage to stay alive? If so, Pete-Crow Armstrong and Kyle Tucker will have to step up.

The Brewers haven't won a round since 2018. Will that change?

At 7:08pm, Louis Varland and Cam Schlittler will cross swords in New York. The Yankees face elimination and will be hoping their pitcher is as good as he was against the Red Sox last week.

And in Toronto, the bullpen will have to hold its own, which is quite a mandate. Louis Varland got away with it yesterday, which has been a rarity lately. He'll face Aaron Judge again early in the game, which will be one to watch.

At 9:08pm, Aaron Nola and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will cross swords in Los Angeles. Nola isn't having a big season, but Yamamoto is. The Dodgers are powerful and the Phillies are lacking in vigor these days.

This will be quite a challenge for the Phillies, who don't want to get swept in their first playoff round.

Of course, we invite you to tune in to these games on RDS and TVA Sports, and to follow us on our site for the latest developments. It's going to be a big day.

And don't miss our podcast tomorrow evening.
