SI MLB Playoffs Pick 'Em - Wild Card Round

[Lake Louise]

Picks should be in before the first game starts. If they are not in before the first game starts, you won't get credit for the first game, only the second game.

For this round just write down your winner for the two games. Without the Game 1 before it, since it's just one game.


St. Louis Cardinals @ Atlanta Braves - 5:07pm

Baltimore Orioles @ Texas Rangers - 8:37pm

So is the extra wildcard spot a sudden death round?

Yeah. It wont carry over to the rest of the postseason, because they are basically play-in games, in a sense.
If you get them right or wrong, that's all it is. It just would seem a little tricky say if someone got both right, and another got both wrong, they would already be at a disadvantage, and neither team they picked would have advanced. I think it'd be more fair to everyone that way.

That seems dumb that they won't count, they're still playoff games, it's just a new round to the playoffs.

They are more like play-in games. I know they are part of the playoffs, in that sense, I was just thinking of it as some people could be down 2 points, after these games, along with the teams they picked not being apart of the next round, when it's after two games. Instead of if they were down by 2, after 2 games of the LDS games. It might be changed and counted towards the rest of the playoffs, but this is what I've decided for now.

 

[Pugz]

so. this should count..

Since I was the only one that got one of the games right, which would give me a point, I'm not going to count it. So for the next round, it'll be just like starting at 0.
