Despite finishing with the worst record in the National League West, the Colorado Rockies will retain Walt Weiss as their manager through next season, per Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich confirmed the news later on in the night.

With six new teams in the mix along with a few familiar faces, the MLB postseason boasts plenty of intriguing storylines.

The Wild Card Game is now in its fourth year and has been a huge success, highlighted by last year's winners—the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals—meeting in the World Series. This season features another pair of exciting matchups.      

The Houston Astros live to fight another day. Behind a gem from Dallas Keuchel on three days' rest, the Astros blanked the New York Yankees, 3-0, to win the American League Wild Card Game.

Keuchel silenced the Yankees through six frames, and the bullpen followed with three hitless innings. While Masahiro Tanaka avoided major damage, home runs from Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez proved enough.

As difficult a task as it is to finish an MLB season with a playoff spot, the wild-card format leaves all of those 162 games down to one crucial nine-inning stretch of baseball that decides teams' fates.

New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey did not attend Tuesday's mandatory workout as his club gears up for Friday's Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

A lot of the talk surrounding Tuesday night’s American League Wild Card Game between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros has been about Houston ace Dallas Keuchel, and for good reason.

Making the MLB playoffs is an impressive accomplishment, but with a wild-card berth, the whole year can come crashing down with just one game.

There are 162 games in a Major League Baseball season, but they're all just a warm-up for what comes next. And what comes next, friends, is happening now.

The postseason has arrived.

Ready or not, you've come to the right place. With the field set for the 2015 playoffs—the American League and National League Wild Card Games kick things off Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively—it's time for a full preview and predictions for what's to come this October.
