It was a wild second day of the 2024 MLB playoffs as there were upsets galore. The Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles were surprisingly swept out of the playoffs. The clock hasn’t struck midnight yet for the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals. The Milwaukee Brewers had a scintillating come-from-behind win over the New York Mets to force a series-deciding Game 3 on Thursday. The San Diego Padres also took care of business by sweeping the Atlanta Braves, but it might’ve come at a big cost.

We take a look at the winners and losers from Wednesday’s four Wild Card games.
