Stan 'The Fan' Charles' MLB Wild Card Series Predictions - PressBox (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before we get into my predictions for the Wild Card Series, let’s explain the brackets in each league. In the American League, the Tampa Bay Rays are the No. 1 seed and the Cleveland Guardians are the No. 2 seed. Both have byes in the wild-card round. The Rays await the winner of the series between the No. 4 seed New York Yankees and No. 5 seed Boston Red Sox. The Guardians will face the winner of the series between the No. 3 seed Houston Astros and No. 6 seed Chicago White Sox. In the National

Well, the 2026 regular season is a wrap. Now all we have left is another fall without the home team having even a chance to get to and win their first World Series since all the way back in 1983. In case you are counting, that is 43 years and counting for the Baltimore Orioles. The best chances the Orioles have had in all that time were the two years Pat Gillick and Davey Johnson were running things on the field, 1996 and 1997.

The Orioles have chosen an absolutely terrible time to go into an offensive cocoon, leading to a season-high six-game losing streak. Hoping against hope, we all were waiting for the hot streak that was always just around the corner. That corner ended up being illusory. With 18 games left to play, it would seem that sweeps of the Guardians and Blue Jays are almost mandatory for the last two weeks of this disappointing season to hold any meaning for Birdland. Here are the holiday power rankings. A

As I watch along with all of you in Baltimore to see if the Orioles can sweep past Colorado and get over .500 and stay there, I will say as frustrating as the team has been, I think the club has done a good job keeping its fan base entertained and engaged. No matter whether or not the O’s pull a rabbit out of the multitude of hats they wear, there will be plenty of intrigue on how president of baseball operations Mike Elias will put together a better team in 2027. For now, we have the playoff ch
