MLB.com's Julia Kreuz joins Blake Murphy to discuss the deep friendship Vlad Jr. and Teoscar Hernández have created, if a competitive rivalry between the Jays and Orioles adds to the battle for a Wild Card spot, how Toronto will use Mitch White following a stint in the minors, and if we'll see Nate Pearson with the main roster this season (04:46). Then, MLB.com's Sarah Langs looks outside of the AL East with Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright tying the record for most games as batterymates at 324, what differences she's seen from Bo Bichette in the last 20 games, how dangerous Luis Castillo can be in a Wild Card series for the Mariners, and the chances that both New York teams will play in the post-season (27:19). Afterward, Mikey Ajeto of Baseball Prospectus checks in and offers a Seattle perspective on the tight Wild Card race, how the M's could set up their starters in a 3-game playoff series, if a team in the AL Central will prove dangerous in the playoffs, and if it's more desirable to have home field advantage or three of your best pitchers lined up (50:43). Finally, The FAN Morning Show's JD Bunkis jumps on to chat about his approach to betting on the MLB post-season, before looking into Alek Manoah's approach to his outings and if he can be the face of the Blue Jays' franchise (01:12:09).
