00:00It's that wild card chase.

00:05The Padres and the D-backs in front, and now the Mets, a full game up on the Atlanta Braves

00:11for that third and final spot.

00:14But the Mets not all that far behind either San Diego or Arizona, the three teams that

00:20occupy the three wild card positions at this momentary separated all by just a game and

00:25a half.

00:28It's kind of crazy and I will remind everyone what we watched a year ago, Ben, with Arizona

00:35where, hey, none of us were talking about the Diamondbacks.

00:39And then slowly but surely in the August and September, they were the hottest team in Major

00:44League Baseball and they rode that right to a National League Championship here while

00:49other teams kind of ran out of gas and the injury started to catch up with them.

00:54It feels like the Padres, the Diamondbacks and the Mets are doing just that.

01:01And it feels like the teams that are already at the top of their division leaderboards,

01:07they might be worried about injuries or even better yet, maybe slowing out of steam and

01:12played their best baseball then already.

01:16They played it back in May and June and July and not now.

01:20So I think it's going to be absolutely wild.
