Inside Pitch Sal Maiorana and Jim Mandelaro talk baseball

The regular season is down to the final weekend and the wild-card races in both leagues are still undecided. Sal Maiorana and Jim Mandelaro break it all down, and then offer up their World Series predictions.

The guys also go through the individual awards in Major League Baseball and discuss who will win the MVP, Cy Young, and manager of the year awards. And they also share some thoughts on the tragic death of Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, and the final broadcast of Vin Scully.

The regular season is rapidly coming to a close and while the division races are all pretty much decided, the wild-card races are as wild as ever. Sal Maiorana and Jim Mandelaro break it all down, and also sing the praises of the team of the week, the Boston Red Sox - much to Sal's chagrin.

The guys also talk about the incredible Gary Sanchez, they dive into the AL East a little deeper, and take a trip down memory lane in This Week in Baseball.

On this week's episode, Sal Maiorana and Jim Mandelaro discuss the crazy AL East race where the Yankees head into Boston for a big four-game series with a chance to inch even closer to the division lead, not to mention a wild-card position.

The team of the week is the red-hot Seattle Mariners who have also caught fire and are back in the AL wild-card race. And was Dave Roberts crazy to lift Rich Hill from a perfect game after seven innings because he has had blister problems?

New York, New York. Sal Maiorana and Jim Mandelaro discuss the surprising emergence of both the Yankees and the Mets into the playoff chase, and they debate which team has the best chance to make the tournament. The guys also go a little deeper on the AL East race where Boston, Toronto, and Baltimore continue to be separated by the smallest of margins. After a trip down memory lane in This Week in Baseball, they talk about umpire Jim Joyce's latest big-time blunder, this one occurring in Cleveland involving a missed foul ball that cost Houston two runs.

In this week's episode, Sal Maiorana and Jim Mandelaro discuss the playoff chances of the suddenly resurgent Kansas City Royals, the defending World Series champions who are making an impressive late-season run. They also talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers who keep winning without Clayton Kershaw and have now moved into first place in the NL West.

In the AL East, things remain tightly packed and chaotic as one game separates the Orioles, Blue Jays and Red Sox. And the Yankees are lingering a bit back, and getting great play from rookie Gary Sanchez.
