Behind Anibal Sanchez's dominant outing, the Washington Nationals took Game 1 of the NLCS in St. Louis. Sanchez carried a no-hitter into the 8th inning, until he surrendered a pinch-hit single to Jose Martinez. The Nats probably didn't expect such an effort from their back-of-the-rotation piece, but Sanchez has shown the ability to twirl a gem every once in a while. We look ahead to tonight's ALCS matchup between the Astros and Yankees. All this (and more) on today's episode!

The Houston Astros are moving on to the ALCS for a rematch with the Yankees. The Astros jumped out to an early lead in Game 5 of the ALDS, as they scored 4 runs in the first inning against the Rays. It Astros looked particularly locked in at the plate. They were because Tyler Glasnow was tipping his pitches. How much of a difference do the slightest tips make? Gerrit Cole was dominant, as usual, as he put team on his back for eight innings of one-run ball. We look ahead to the ALCS and NLCS matchups. The Phillies have fired Gabe Kapler, which means there are now eight managerial vacancies in the MLB. All this (and more) on today's episode.

The Washington Nationals have won a playoff series. In improbable fashion, the Nationals staged a late-game comeback to stun the Dodgers. Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto led the charge by hitting back-to-back home runs to tie the game, and Howie Kendrick sent the Dodgers packing with a go-ahead grand slam in the 10th inning. For a team that started the season 19-31, the Nats have overcome steep odds in taking down one of the deepest and most talented teams of all time. They will face the St. Louis Cardinals, who punched their ticket by routing the Atlanta Braves in Game 5 of their NLDS series. All this (and more) on today's episode.

The Rays pulled off a stunning victory as they took down the Houston Astros in Game 4 of the ALDS. The Tampa Bay bullpen out-dueled Justin Verlander in a fascinating fashion. Whether it's lefty specialists, groundball pitchers, or pitchers with a funky delivery, the Rays have a variety of flavors coming out of their pen - which is perhaps the best in all of baseball. Can the Rays pull off the upset in Houston against a fully-rested Gerrit Cole on Thursday? All this (and more) on today's episode!

Gleyber Torres led the Yankees to a sweep of the Twins as they advanced to the ALCS. Torres is the youngest Yankee to homer in a postseason game since Derek Jeter's iconic fan-aided home run in the 1996 ALCS. The big trade that brought Torres to New York three years ago is paying big dividends now. The Rays stayed alive by jumping all over Zack Greinke. Will they have enough magic left against Verlander tonight? Both NLDS series are going to Game 5, as the Nationals and Cards both forced a winner-take-all game on Wednesday night. All this (and more) on today's episode!

The Braves' 9th inning rally was punctuated by big hits from Donaldson, Dansby, and Duvall. Atlanta stunned the Cardinals to secure a key road victory. A seven-run 6th inning propelled the Dodgers to a victory over the Nats. LA's roster is particularly deep, and they can mix and match their lineup for a variety of situations. We saw that as they rolled out multiple key bench bats to face left handed pitching. We take a look at the developing free agent market, and what it could look like for Cardinals left fielder Marcell Ozuna. All this (and more), plus a full recap of every game.

The Cole train keeps chugging along. With 7 2/3 scoreless innings and 15 strikeouts last night, Gerrit Cole's historic season kept moving right along. He's the epitome of a power pitcher and it's quite frightening that he's the #2 option in Houston's rotation. The Yankees defeated the Twins pretty handily, thanks in part to a grand slam by Didi Gregorious. We look ahead to the upcoming NLDS matchups. All this (and more) on today's episode.

"We'll worry about Game 3 when we get there." That was the Nationals' strategy last night when they inserted Max Scherzer into the game in the 8th inning. The Nats won the game and will head back home with the series tied 1-1. Verlander was vintage, the Bronx Bombers were out in full force, and some battle-tested Braves contributed to a victory. All this (and more), plus a full recap of every game!

Walker Buehler extended his postseason scoreless streak to 16 innings as he kept the Nationals lineup in check with his high octane stuff. Gavin Lux is taking to the big stage quite well. The 21 year old has a sweet stroke from the left side which is going to play at a high level. Is Ronald Acuna Jr. the next Manny Ramirez? He's too talented to be held out of the lineup and his antics are simply entertaining to watch. All this (and more), plus a full recap of each game!

With four home runs and a strong outing by Charlie Morton, the Rays defeated the A's in the American League Wild Card game. Charlie Morton is the first pitcher in MLB history to win three winner-take-all games. What chance does Tampa Bay really stand against the Houston Astros?
