Kevin begins the episode by discussing the recent controversy over the "home plate collision" rule. The umpires have overturned 8 calls at plate this year, which is by far the most since the rule was implemented in 2014. A memo was sent to each team this week to reiterate how the rule will be called. Kevin then releases his week 19 power rankings. There is movement at the top of the rankings with the Braves making a push and the Yankees sliding. Right now, there are 17 teams who still have realistic playoff hopes. This is exactly what baseball wanted with the expanded postseason. Kevin wraps up the show by talking about who currently holds the playoff tiebreakers. There will no longer be a game 163 to determine who makes the postseason, it will be a head to head tiebreaker for the first time ever this season.
