Eno and DVR discuss the two AL Wild Card matchups with the Tigers' second-half surge bringing them to Houston, with an opportunity to end the Astros' string of seven consecutive ALCS appearances. Plus, they examine the Royals-Orioles matchup, and wonder if the Kansas City bats behind Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez can bring enough to the table against playoff pitching, and if the O's second-half performance (40-41) will carry over into October.
