The Thrill of the Postseason
The 2024 MLB Playoffs are shaping up to be a thrilling postseason! The AL leaders include the New York Yankees in the east division, who are likely to face a challenge from either the Cleavland Guardians in the central division or the Houston Astros in the west division. (they both have a lower record then the Yanks, but they clinched their division). The Yankees lead the most world series wins in baseball, but they have not won in 15 years. While the Guardians are fighting to win there third world series, and the Astros want to win a 3rd championship in the last 7 years. (2017 shouldn't count because they cheated). The NL leaders have the Los Angeles Dodgers who have the best record in baseball, the always dangerous Philadelphia Phillies in the east division, and the hard-working Brewers in the central division.
The Wild Card Series always promises exciting matchups between teams fighting for their playoff lives. On the NL side, look out for potential clashes between the San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, and possibly the Arizona Diamondbacks. These teams are all talented and capable of making a deep run in the playoffs. On the AL side look for likely battles between the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, and finally, Seattle Mariners. A lot of the AL teams have a young core, who are thirsty for a World Series win.
Remember, these are just predictions based on the regular season. The playoffs are full of surprises, and any team can make a deep run. These playoffs are sure to be filled with drama, excitement, and unforgettable moments. Fans can expect to see some of the best baseball players in the world competing at the highest level. The energy and excitement in the stadium during a playoff game is so fun, and I can’t wait to watch some games.
