This story was updated to add new information.
The 2024 MLB postseason gets underway on Tuesday, Oct. 1 and the American League Wild Card matchups are set.
The Detroit Tigers, the team of destiny, the team that on Aug. 2 had a .2% chance of making the playoffs, are headed back to the postseason for the first time in 10 years.
The Tigers’ reward, an opponent with the most playoff success of any team in all of baseball during that same decade, the Houston Astros.
After a mediocre start to the season, the Astros are back in the playoffs and looking to make at least the American League Championship Series for the eighth-consecutive season.
Tickets still remain, and at a shockingly affordable price for the playoffs, for all three games in Houston.
