The MLB Postseason is in full swing, and one of its intriguing features is the return of the wild-card round in both the American and National Leagues.

From Tuesday to Thursday, a series of best-of-three matchups will determine which teams advance to the Division Series. Notably, the American League features the Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros with byes, while the National League sees the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers enjoying the same privilege.

After an eventful 2023 regular season, here's a breakdown of the four wild-card series set to captivate fans over the next three days.

The Minnesota Twins are making their postseason appearance as division winners for the first time since the abbreviated 2020 season. Their lone previous wild-card playoff experience resulted in a sweep, and last year, they trailed the division leader by 14 games. The Twins' last ALCS appearance dates back to 2002.

The Toronto Blue Jays are returning to the playoffs for the second consecutive season, navigating through one of baseball's most competitive divisions. In a division where the Orioles recorded 101 wins and the Tampa Bay Rays notched 99, the Blue Jays, led by Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., are poised for postseason action. Their last ALCS appearance was in 2016.

The Twins concluded the season with an 87-75 record, while the Blue Jays finished strong at 89-73. All games in this series will be hosted in Minnesota.

Despite contending with injuries and a suspension to Wander Franco, the Tampa Bay Rays secured an impressive 99-win season in 2023. This marks the team's second season with 99 or more wins in the last three years. However, they faced a disappointing exit in the wild-card round last year. The Rays reached the World Series in 2020 but fell short against the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games.

The Texas Rangers, loaded with talent, made strategic moves to fortify their roster for this postseason. In a highly competitive American League West Division, they clinched a playoff spot, with the Astros winning the division and the Seattle Mariners narrowly missing out. Marcus Semien and Corey Seager played instrumental roles in the Rangers' successful season, their best since 2016, which was also their last playoff appearance.

Tampa Bay finished the season at 99-63, while Texas wrapped up with a record of 90-72. The series will be hosted in Tampa, Florida.
