Sideline Banter with Sam, David, and Taylor Episode 3

Sideline Banter Podcast – MLB Wild Card Round Recap (Oct 1, 2025)

Last night, David and I (Taylor) broke down all the action from the MLB Wild Card Round — and what a night it was! Every series is heading to a decisive Game 3, except for the Dodgers-Reds, where L.A. swept and punched their ticket to face the Phillies in the next round.

We covered it all:
⚾ Tigers vs Guardians – Winner of Game 3 (10/2/25) will face the Seattle Mariners.
⚾ Red Sox vs Yankees – Winner advances to battle the Toronto Blue Jays.
⚾ Padres vs Cubs – Cubs took Game 1, but the Padres bounced back in Game 2 with a 3-0 shutout, forcing a winner-take-all Game 3.
⚾ Dodgers vs Reds – Dodgers dominated and move on without needing a Game 3.

To make it even better, we did a screen share of THE GEAUX DOME (Houston Sports) on YouTube to watch the live games as they unfolded and then gave our instant reactions and analysis.

This episode is packed with predictions, hot takes, and real-time reactions to one of the wildest nights of postseason baseball so far!
