"Division Series begin in both leagues: MLB's Wild Card round capped off yesterday when the Tigers toppled the Guardians on the strength of some late offense, while the Cubs edged past the Padres - but not before some ninth-inning drama put everyone on the edge of their seats. In the nightcap, Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler delivered a historic performance when he held the Red Sox scoreless and punched out 12 hitters over eight innings as New York advanced."
"The Dodgers will be at Citizen's Bank Park on Saturday in the only of the four matchups where both starting pitchers have been publicly revealed. Shohei Ohtani (2.87 ERA, 33 K%, 4.8 BB% in 47 regular season innings) will be on the bump for Los Angeles opposite Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez (2.50 ERA, 26.3 K%, 5.5 BB%, 202 innings). The final game on Saturday's slate will see the Tigers head to Seattle."
MLB moves into the Division Series after Wild Card games where the Tigers beat the Guardians with late offense and the Cubs edged the Padres after ninth-inning drama. Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler held the Red Sox scoreless with 12 strikeouts over eight innings to advance New York. NLDS and ALDS open tomorrow with the Cubs visiting the Brewers and the Yankees traveling to Toronto. Milwaukee will start Freddy Peralta while Chicago's Game 1 starter remains unannounced. Toronto will use Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber across Games 1 and 2. Los Angeles sends Shohei Ohtani against Cristopher Sanchez in Philadelphia. Detroit may open with Keider Montero or Chris Paddack to avoid using Tarik Skubal on short rest, while Seattle hopes a returning pitcher will be available after a near three-week pectoral absence.
