2026 MLB Postseason Wild Card Round Preview and Predictions | Baseball Is Dead EP. #475

Episode 475: The 2026 MLB postseason has arrived.

We have a bracket and matchups to dive into. But before Dallas, JayHay, Jared, and Tyler give their predictions, the guys react to an emotional weekend of baseball retirements.

Justin Verlander’s storybook ending set the template for how first-ballot Hall of Famers want to leave the game, with Max Scherzer following closely behind in his own unique way of potentially wrapping up his career.

Each Wild Card series is discussed in depth, and everyone on the panel gives official predictions for who moves on to the Division Series.

Don’t forget to . Playoff live streams happen every night the games are on, with podcasts recorded for the next morning.

October is here — watch it with Baseball Is Dead.
