FanGraphs Audio: Very Wild Card Series
Episode 890
The FanGraphs crew has made it through the Wild Card Series, and they have plenty to discuss. The American League has settled into a pair of intense rivalries, while the National League includes a juggernaut and a true underdog.
- Ben Clemens and Dan Szymborski take a closer look at the AL side of the bracket as well as some playoff ZiPS projections. Is Alejandro Kirk for real? Are the Yankees possibly underrated? And what did Ben think of attending the Oakland series in person? [1:40]
- Eric Longenhagen chats with Rachael McDaniel about the NL side of things, including some well-deserved Clayton Kershaw love. Also, how does social media affect today’s young players? And what do these Marlins have in common with the 2003 bunch? [27:32]
