After enduring the grind that is a 162-game regular season, 12-teams have their eyes set on hoisting the Commissioners Trophy in early November as the MLB playoffs get underway on October 7th. MLB debuts its new playoff format that rewards the top-two seeds in both the National League and American League with first-round byes, while the other eight teams are locked into a best-of-three Wild Card series that will produce must-see moments and long-lasting memories.
As things currently stand, the Los Angeles Dodgers (+300) sit atop the World Series odds board after finishing the regular season with a 111-51 overall record.
