It’s safe to say the Wild Card Series has lived up to its name.

The best-of-three series, which first came about during the shortened 2020 season, was officially added in 2022 when Major League Baseball unveiled a postseason format that expanded both the pool of teams (to six in each league) and the Wild Card round.
