In the Division Series version of this guide I highlighted that the postseason had a real David vs. Goliath vibe to it with the super teams and their 100+ win seasons entering the playoff picture to face off against a slew of Wild Card teams. At least in the National League, the underdogs have prevailed with the 87-win Phillies thwarting the 101-win Braves and the 89-win Padres finally besting their divisional foe, the 111-win Dodgers. It remains to be seen if the Yankees or Guardians will join the Astros in the ALCS after a rain out in the Bronx last night, but there is a lot to delve into in these match ups, so I decided to give each series their own post.
