Down the stretch they come

There are great division races across the board including Detroit and Kansas City along with the Dodgers and Giants and in the wild card race. I was skeptical at first when MLB added an extra playoff spot. With a good amount of competitive teams and the fact that it's a one-game play-in between the two wild card winners from each league, I am all in. It has added excitement and meaning to games that would not have mattered in the past. Even with football season upon us no one can ignore what is going on in baseball. That is why every Tuesday, D.J. Short, who writes for NBC Sports, joins us on The Opening Drive at 9 a.m. and we cover everything that is going on in baseball. Summer might be behind us but the best baseball has yet to be seen.
