Home teams have failed to take advantage of the edge they worked all season to secure in the early going of the playoffs. That's true in both National League Division Series, which saw the road clubs grab 1-0 leads Friday.

Losing Game 1, even at home, is no big deal in the two series that follow. In this round, however, it puts a boatload of pressure on the higher seeds due to the best-of-five format. They don't want to head out on the road needing to win both games just to force a deciding fifth contest.

Outfielder Michael Morse probably couldn't believe his eyes when he saw himself in a Washington Nationals uniform in the Washington Post's recap of Game 1 of the 2014 National League Division Series.

If you need proof of how fickle and unpredictable baseball can be, all you have to do is look at what happened on Friday with Clayton Kershaw getting lit up, Kansas City getting an extra-inning homer for the second-straight day and Delmon Young getting another big postseason hit. 

If the Oakland Athletics are able to beat the Kansas City Royals and advance to the American League Division Series, they may have to proceed without catcher Geovany Soto.

The 31-year-old veteran, who was acquired by the A's in August, was forced from Tuesday night's Wild Card Game with a thumb injury, per Fox Sports' MLB Twitter feed:

Oakland Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss hit a two-run home run during the first inning of the American League Wild Card Game against the Kansas City Royals.

Moss wasn't done with just one. He went deep again, this time a three-run shot in the sixth inning to give Oakland a 5-3 lead.

There might not be a better opening-round series in the MLB playoffs than the St. Louis Cardinals against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

While all eyes will be on the marquee players like Andrew McCutchen, Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner in Wednesday's National League Wild Card Game at PNC Park, there are a few players who may steal the spotlight and have huge games to help their team advance into the division series. 

One of them is Pittsburgh's Josh Harrison.

In what is their penultimate game of the 2014 regular season, the Los Angeles Dodgers entertained the worst-case scenario for a short time after Hanley Ramirez exited Saturday night's game against the Colorado Rockies in the fourth inning.
