We rank the four division series favorites by how worried each should be about their underdog opponents.
The division series matchups are set! World Series odds, playoff keys and predicted date of doom for all 8 teamsThe wild-card round was exhilarating to watch, but now it's time to move on, for the winners and for the teams that were waiting to find out the identity of their LDS opponent.
None of that means the Dodgers can't or won't win. It just means they are starting this series on more or less equal footing against their biggest rival, one hungry for a first World Series title they know they can win.This is the third straight postseason for the Phillies and they've advanced to at least the NLCS the previous two trips.
The Phillies won more than they lost down the stretch, but they did so by wielding a five-runs-per-game hammer that isn't likely to make an appearance against the New York pitching staff. While they were scoring all these September runs, they were giving them up at a rate of 4.9 per contest. The rotation ERA was an MLB-worst 5.68.It feels as if the Phillies have been stuck in waiting mode for weeks, waiting for this series to arrive, whomever the opponent was going to be.
The Guardians are baseball's youngest team in terms of overall average age, but that calculation considers the full season. This post-deadline version of the Tigers is even younger. The Guardians thrived all season with a deep, airlock of a bullpen; the Tigers have built a very similar apparatus and have bullpenned their way through many games, from stem to stern.
