MLB 2025 Wild Card Playoff Game 1 Bigged Takeaways
The MLB qualifiers are preparing to participate in their second games. Here are our take -out dishes of game 1 across the MLB.
1. Dodgers seem unstoppable
You can say “these are only the reds”, but the dodgers crushed them like a Kaiju walking in the city center for six sleeves, anyway. A 10-5 victory at Dodger Stadium was the only unilateral game on the first day of the Joker. Shohei Ohtani struck two circuits, just like Teoscar Hernández. The left -handed Blake Snell finished at least six rounds during a departure for the first time for the first time in 11 career attempts.
2. Tarik Skubal also looks unstoppable
The AS of Detroit Tigers released Major Madison Bumgarner in ’14 vibes at the moment after having withdrawn 14 during a 2-1 victory against the Guardians on Tuesday. Skubal career career results: 2.03 ERA, 34 stick withdrawals in 26 2/3 rounds on four appearances. Bumgarner withdrew 45 with an MPM of 1.03 in 52 2/3 sleeves in eliminatory series in 14. Do you remember the story perhaps apocryphal on Bumgarner dating from a girl in high school also named Madison Bumgarner? Skubal probably doesn’t have a story like that.
3. Garrett Crochet is unstoppable against the Yankees
This is literally true in 2025, the Boston Red Sox improving at 5-0 in the hook games started against the Yankees after having beat them 3-1 at the Yankee Stadium. During its beginnings in the playoffs as a starter, Crochet withdrew 11 in 7 2/3 sleeves, keeping the Yankees out of the table apart from a Home Run solo by Anthony Volpe during the second round.
4. Cubs lead the paadres in an eliminatory series and nothing can go wrong when it is the case
Everyone thinks that the cubs reaching the World Series in 2016 ended the whole story of the curse of goat but Bahhh! He will not be really defeated until the Cubs do not behave to explode a 2-0 series, the paadres in the NLC ’84.
5. There is no way that the dodgers can win the World Series with this enclosure of the Lights
Wait a second – Were the dodgers not a few paragraphs ago a few paragraphs? It was before the enclosure of the lifts came, and the Libers Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henriquez and Jack Dreyer helped to bring the Reds closer to Cincinnati in a differently unilateral case. The relief was their biggest Achilles heel all season.
6. Cubs use an opener in play 2 and it is an outrage
It is not the biggest lever game in the history of the playoffs for an opening match, because the Dodgers used one in the World Series a year ago and helped them win a championship. Admittedly, the Cubs have just lost Cade Horton a few days ago, but for a team to use this tactic in the second match of the playoffs … Do you think that MLB has a crisis of not having enough pitching at the start? It’s an outrage!
7. Aaron Boone cost the Yankees the match and maybe the season by pulling Max Fried
Fried had a laundering in progress, no action on the bases, and 102 throws launched when Boone went to the enclosure of the seventh rounds. It turns out that it was a big mistake, the Red Sox striking against Luke Weaver to take the lead. The New York offensive gathered only one race at night, it’s true, but tightening two thirds or more Fried was the right thing right now. It was not a random game in June. Time to save balls is over.
8. Stephen vogt should have let someone else distinguish the programming card
We know that the guards make black arts and that is why they win, because they are a real division champion who cannot even align a whole range of major leaguers. With the best launcher in the American League who opposed them, the Guardians had Jhonkensy Noel playing the first goal and Johnathan Rodríguez in the right field. Neither can strike, and the two made huge errors on the ground that cost the Guardians’ races and put two tiger training sessions.
9. Aaron judge costs Yankees a tonne
By playing in the field. The judge had a major ventilation in the right field on the blow of Nick Sogard in the seventh. With Sogard Bustling, the judge appeared temporarily on his approach and made a naturally weak launch (given his elbow injury) to the second goal while the Red Sox raised a rally. Yankees have no excellent options because Giancarlo Stanton would be an even more important responsibility on the ground than the judge.
