The 2017 MLB playoffs are here, with 10 teams providing us several storylines to watch this October, from the Wild Card games all the way through the World Series.

We have three 100-win teams — the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, and Houston Astros — for just the sixth time in major league history, and the first time since 2003.

There are a trio of great turnaround stories as well. The Minnesota Twins had the worst record in baseball in 2016 with 103 losses, but this year they’re in the postseason as the second American League Wild Card, the first team ever to make the playoffs one year after losing 100 games.

In the National League, the Arizona Diamondbacks rebounded from a 93-loss campaign to capture the top Wild Card spot with 93 wins in 2017. Arizona is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2011, while this is the Twins’ first postseason trip since 2010. The Colorado Rockies, winners of the second NL Wild Card spot, are back for the October dance for the first time since 2009, and just one season after an 87-loss campaign.
