The Wild Card series are best-of-three sprints that last no longer than 48 hours. Three of the four Wild Card series ended in two-game rounds on Wednesday and only the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets make it to a decisive third game on Thursday.

The Brewers are the favorites at home with surprisingly outstanding rookie Tobias Myers on the mound. Myers has one heck of a history, pitching in the minors for seven seasons before breaking out this season, posting a 3.00 ERA in 138 innings.

At the start of the season, Brewers fans wouldn’t have believed Myers would play in a crucial playoff game, and it’s even less likely they would feel comfortable with him in that spot. Two years ago, Myers was 1-15 with a 7.82 ERA in Triple A.

While Myers is in his sixth organization, opposing starter Jose Quintana also knows this life. The Mets are the 35-year-old Quintana’s seventh MLB team and fifth in the last four seasons. The left-hander has a 3.86 ERA in five postseason appearances.

The winner of Milwaukee on Thursday will be the winners of this round along with the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals and San Diego Padres. The Tigers and Royals received a road win, meaning the AL Central has three of the four remaining teams in the American League playoffs.
