With the MLB World Championships just weeks away, eight teams are vying for the year's largest prize. When are the games scheduled to take place?
The MLB postseason has arrived and it promises to be very entertaining.
The Dodgers are back!
With several of the 'usual suspects' returning, the playoffs are just about set. Both of the pennant winners from last season have returned as the Rays are ready to go and of course the defending 2020 World Series Champions, the Dodgers. The Braves who are no strangers to the postseason along with the Brewers, Cardinals, Yankees, and White Sox complete the packmake their return.
This year will see a return to single-game eliminations for the wild card matchups. The winner will of course move on to face the top seeds in each league where they will then play in the traditional best-of-five divisional rounds. After that qualifying teams move on to best-of-seven championship series and then of course on to the big one, the best-of-seven World Series.
