Only two teams remain. Alex Kielar shares his preview of the World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers won two games against the Atlanta Braves with their proverbial backs against the wall to force a decisive Game 7. The series was a rollercoaster from start to finish, and in the final drop of this ride, the finale did not disappoint.
The Houston Astros stormed back from a 3-0 series deficit to force Game 7 in the 2020 ALCS. Led by great pitching in the deciding game, the Tampa Bay Rays held off the Astros, 4-2, to clinch the American League pennant on Saturday night. Here’s how it all went down.
After the Los Angeles Dodgers’ dominant Game 3, the Atlanta Braves bounced back with a 10-2 win on Thursday night.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came in after a heartbreaking 5-1 late-inning loss and collapse on Monday night against the Atlanta Braves. Walker Buehler was outdueled by Max Fried who pitched a dominant six innings with nine strikeouts. Freddie Freeman started the game with a monster home run in the first inning against Walker Buehler. This continued in Game 2, as the Braves held on to win 8-7, despite a late-inning spark from the Dodger bats.
All division series are in full swing with games each and every day, and it has been fun so far. Although it was nice to see some amazing pitching in the first round, the abundance of baseballs clearing the fences is a welcome sight. Will the trend continue?
After a wild eight-game slate yesterday, we now get five more games today. Four National League teams face elimination – Reds, Cubs, Padres, and Brewers – while the A’s and White Sox play a win-or-go-home Game 3. With that in mind, let’s get right into some pitchers and bats for your lineups.
The sixth-seeded Miami Marlins are in the playoffs just one season after losing 105 games. Returning to the postseason for the first time since 2003. They’ll face the third-seeded Chicago Cubs in the opening round, starting on Wednesday. The Cubs are taking part in the postseason for the fifth time in the previous six seasons.
The Wild Card round of playoffs continues with all 16 playoff teams in action today. Here we have the St. Louis Cardinals, who fell two games short of playing the whole 60 because of COVID-19 cases, facing off against the San, or “Slam”, Diego Padres. The Cardinals are the fifth seed (clinched on the last day) and the Padres are the fourth seed. This is a best-of-three series which starts with Game 1 on Wednesday at 5:08 P.M. est. The series takes place at Petco Park in San Diego.
The most unusual regular season in history is about to pass the baton to the most unique playoff format the league has ever seen.
B.J. Martin reports on today’s agreement between MLB and the MLBPA to hold the 2020 postseason in a bubble format with families allowed to attend.
