The MLB season is wrapping up, and fans’ excitement is building. Soon, the top two teams, who are considered the best of the year, will face off in the World Series, a best-of-seven game series held at the very end of the year. To get to the World Series, you have to make it to the playoffs. Teams then compete against each other to try to win and eliminate their opponents from the playoffs and earn a shot at the World Series. Many different teams have won the World Series in past years, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers won last year’s World Series against the New York Yankees in five games.
With this year’s World Series coming up and how good the teams are, it is tough to tell who will make it to the playoffs. Only 12 teams out of 30 can advance to the playoffs, and only two teams from those 12 can go to the World Series. This year’s playoffs started on Sept. 30, and the World Series will start on Oct. 24. The World Series is a “best-of-seven game series,” meaning it could potentially end on Nov. 1. If it goes until Nov. 1, that means these two teams will have each won three games and lost three games against each other, so the next team to win will take the World Series.
Winning the World Series is a big deal, as the winner is crowned the best team in the league that year, and will go down in history. Triumphant players will be known for winning the World Series, as well as earning a championship ring. The team as a whole will have a parade in their hometown to celebrate their victory.
Some of the teams that fans expect to go far in 2025 include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, and the San Diego Padres. Many people predict that the Philadelphia Phillies will make it to the World Series this year.
Numerous players are catching the attention of viewers with their skills, leading their teams through impressive seasons. Aaron Judge, who plays right field for the New York Yankees, is off to a strong start, and Shohei Ohtani, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is known to be one of the best pitchers and hitters in the league.
There are multiple places to watch these playoff games, but some of the most popular ones include streaming platforms like MLB Network, ESPN, Peacock, Apple TV, Hulu, and YouTube TV.
