The NLCS will kick off with a best-of-seven series on Sunday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers face the New York Mets. Meanwhile, the ALCS will begin on Monday night with the New York Yankees taking on the Cleveland Guardians.
In the NLCS, the Mets secured their spot by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies, while the Dodgers eliminated the San Diego Padres. On the AL side, the Yankees advanced by beating the Kansas City Royals, and the Guardians ended the Detroit Tigers’ season in a thrilling Game 5.
Notably, teams like the Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves, and Milwaukee Brewers were eliminated in the Wild Card Series. The playoff bracket consists of four rounds, with the top seeds in each league earning byes to the League Division Series.
