Taylor Blake Ward and Jason Hernandez join Jason Burke for a discussion running through the divisional winners, wild cards and surprise teams for the upcoming 2020 season. Two of us have the Oakland Athletics going deep into the playoffs, but just how deep?

Also, who will be competing for the AL MVP, and which American League rookie has us all excited?

Note: This was recorded before the announcement of MLB's expanded playoffs, but it should give you an idea of which teams and players should be the best in the game during the 2020 season.
